What is Search?

The Search feature helps you quickly find any Helperbird tool or setting. Instead of scrolling through all the features, you can type what you are looking for and see matching results instantly.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Anyone who wants to find features quickly
  • People who are new to Helperbird and exploring tools
  • Users who cannot remember where a specific feature is located
  • Anyone who wants faster access to Helperbird tools
  • People who use many different features

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.


In the top right corner of the Helperbird panel, look for the search icon. It looks like a magnifying glass.

Click the search icon or click the Open search button.

A search bar will appear where you can type.


Step 3: Search for Features

Type the name of the feature you are looking for. Helperbird will instantly filter the results to show only matching tools.

You can search by:

  • Feature names like "Reading Mode", "Voice Typing", or "Translate"
  • Categories like "Reading", "Writing", or "Dyslexia"
  • Keywords related to what you want to do

As you type, the results update in real time. Click on any feature in the results to open it immediately.

Tip: If you do not remember the exact feature name, try searching for what you want to accomplish. For example, search "read aloud", "highlight", or "fonts" to find related tools.

This tool helps so many of our students at school - not only those students who have dyslexia, but students and adults who have other learning differences (and those who don't!). It helps ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in their learning!

Helperbird is an excellent extension supporting a range of learning differences. Aside from providing many evidence-based dyslexia-assistive tools, the extension also functions as an easy-to-use, feature-rich web experience customization tool suitable to support a wide range of cognitive differences (i.e., color blindness and ADHD-related focus concerns, among others). Also, the developer is a very good person who supports the various learning-different communities in many ways, including by designing the free version of Helperbird to provide enough functionality to be beneficial to people who cannot afford to subscribe to the full-function version.

Brilliant extension! Have tired it for my daughter and she has come on leaps in school. While there are plenty of free features, the paid ones are only 30 USD a year. Can't recommend this enough.
