What This Does

This saves the page you are looking at to your Reading list, so you can close the tab and still find it again.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Anyone who finds something worth reading at the wrong moment
  • Students gathering sources as they research
  • People who keep tabs open because they are afraid of losing the page

Step 1: Go to the Page

Open the web page you want to save and stay on it. Helperbird saves whichever page you are currently viewing, so this has to be the tab in front of you.


Step 2: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar.


Step 3: Use the Add to Reading List Row

Open All Features at the bottom of the menu and look for Add to reading list.

The list is in alphabetical order, so this row sits near the top. The separate View reading list row further down opens your saved pages rather than adding to them.

The All Features list showing the Add to reading list row, which saves the page you are currently on

Click the button on that row. A message appears saying Added to reading list, and the page is saved.

To check it worked, open your list with View reading list. See how to open your reading list.


Where Your List is Kept

Your reading list is stored by your browser and synced with your browser profile. If you are signed into the same browser on another computer, your saved pages follow you there.

It is not stored on a Helperbird server, and it does not move between different browsers. Pages saved in Chrome will not appear in Firefox.

makes Helperbird my first choice ...

Have an amazing collection of assistive tools that have benefits for everyone. For me, the combination of Microsoft's Immersive Reader and Apple's reading machine voice (US Alex) makes Helperbird my first choice for processing web content.

like 50 accessibility and product...

AMAZING app. I am a researcher and writer with learning and information processing challenges. The Helperbird app is like 50 accessibility and productivity apps in one. It has absolutely transformed my research process and experience to make it so much easier. No switching between multiple extensions.

super responsive and open to feed...

The owner/developer is super responsive and open to feedback - a major asset to any company that wants to truly support individuals with diverse learning and accessibility needs.
