Tools Right Where You Need Them

Select any text on a page, and a small menu appears. From that menu, you can read the text aloud, look up a word, translate it, search for it, or highlight it - all without leaving the page or opening Helperbird.

It's the fastest way to use Helperbird's features.

Learn how to use the highlight menu


What's in the Menu

Play: Have the selected text read aloud.

Dictionary: Look up the definition of a word.

Search: Search the web for the selected text.

Translate: Translate the text into another language.

Immersive Reader: Open the text in a clean, focused reading view.

Highlight: Mark the text with a color for later reference.


Why This Saves Time

Without the highlight menu, you'd have to:

  1. Select text
  2. Open Helperbird
  3. Find the feature you want
  4. Apply it

With the highlight menu, you select text and click once. Done.


Who Uses This

Students who need to quickly look up words or translate text while studying.

Researchers who want fast access to definitions and searches.

Anyone who reads online and wants quick tools at their fingertips.


Is This Free?

Basic features like highlight and search are free. Text-to-speech and Immersive Reader require Helperbird Pro.
