Why Check Your Version?

Knowing which version of Helperbird you are running is useful when troubleshooting issues with the support team, confirming you have the latest features, or checking that an update has been applied. The version number is always visible on the Settings page.


Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the Settings Page

Click the gear icon in the top-left corner of the Helperbird menu. This will open the Settings page.


Step 3: Find the Version Number

On the Settings page, look for the Info section at the top. The Version row shows your current Helperbird version number, for example 2026.3.20.

This is the number you should share with the support team if they ask which version you are using.


How to Update Helperbird

Helperbird updates automatically through your browser's extension system. If you want to make sure you are running the latest version, you can manually check for updates.

In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode in the top right corner, then click Update at the top of the page.

In Edge, go to edge://extensions, turn on Developer mode in the bottom left corner, then click Update at the top of the page.

In Firefox, go to about:addons, click the gear icon, and select Check for Updates.

After updating, go back to the Helperbird Settings page to confirm the version number has changed.

Immersive Reader from Microsoft is amazing, but my friends in Google districts were missing out until I found Helperbird. Great for proofreading! Simply highlight the text and have it read back to you, change the spacing in your view, highlight parts of speech, even translate by word or by document to have it read to you and adjust the speed! So amazing that I posted a YouTube tutorial within days of installing it. Plus, unlike many extensions, it didn't ask for obnoxious permissions like asking to delete everything in my Google Drive. #Winner #a11y

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

They were super fast with response time when helping me meet a deadline and very kind when corresponding. If the app is anything like their customer service then I am happy with my purchase!
