How to Highlight Words on Hover with Helperbird

Helperbird's highlight word feature helps you stay focused while reading by adding a yellow background to whatever word your mouse is hovering over. This makes it easier to track your place on the page and follow along with the text.


Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar to open the main dashboard.


Step 2: Go to Media Options

Scroll down through the Helperbird menu and click on Media Options to open the media settings panel.


Step 3: Enable Highlight Word

In the Media Options panel, click on the Hover tab at the top.

Toggle on Highlight Word to activate the feature.

Once enabled, move your mouse over any word on a webpage and it will be highlighted with a yellow background, making it easy to see exactly which word you're looking at.

Tip: This feature is especially helpful when reading long articles or documents. It acts like a digital finger, helping you keep your place and maintain focus as you read through the content.
