What is the Settings Page?

The settings page is a full page that opens in its own browser tab. It holds everything that does not fit in the popup: accessibility profiles, importing and exporting your settings, syncing, and the debug information you send to support.

The popup is for using Helperbird day to day. The settings page is for setting it up.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Anyone setting Helperbird up for the first time
  • People who want to save or move their settings between computers
  • Anyone choosing an accessibility profile
  • People reporting an issue who need their debug information

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.

I love the 50 natural languages

I have to admit, I have tried several other similar products which were awful. Helperbird is truly amazing! The font changes, colours, overlays, notes, text to speech and I love the 50 natural languages! 100% worth updating.

has been a vast help and I fully ...

I purchased this for my daughter who has been having a lot of difficulty accessing the online work set remotely by her teachers during our National Lockdown because of Covid-19. Her dyslexia was really hindering her ability to complete tasks and keep up which in turn led to increased anxiety levels...a really horrid place to be in during a global pandemic! Helper bird has been a vast help and I fully recommend it and wish more schools knew about it. Thank You Helper Bird.
