Learn how to use Helperbird's Auto Scroll feature to automatically scroll through web pages at your preferred speed. Perfect for hands-free reading.

What is Auto Scroll?

Auto Scroll automatically scrolls web pages at a steady pace you control. Instead of manually scrolling, the page moves on its own while you read. You can adjust the speed to match your reading pace.

This is a Helperbird Pro feature.


Who is This For?

Auto Scroll is helpful for people who want hands-free reading, those with motor difficulties that make scrolling uncomfortable, readers who prefer a consistent reading pace, anyone reading long articles or documents, and people using text-to-speech who want the page to follow along.


How to Enable Auto Scroll

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in the top right corner of your browser to open the extension menu.


Step 2: Go to the All Features Section

Scroll down to the All Features section and expand it to see all available features.


Step 3: Find Auto Scroll

Look for the Auto Scroll option in the features list. Click on it to open the settings panel.


Step 4: Turn It On

Toggle the Auto Scroll switch to enable it. The toggle will turn GREEN when enabled. The page will start scrolling automatically.


Adjusting Scroll Speed

Once Auto Scroll is enabled, you can adjust the speed using the slider in the settings panel. Move the slider left for slower scrolling or right for faster scrolling. Find the speed that matches your reading pace.

Tip: Start with a slower speed and gradually increase it until you find what's comfortable for you.


Stopping Auto Scroll

To stop scrolling, simply toggle the Auto Scroll switch off, or scroll manually with your mouse or trackpad - this will pause the automatic scrolling.

I really liked the ease of setting up and also accessing the tool while you are on chrome. I had no trouble, and within a week found myself using it without even noticing.

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.

This is a great little extension, lightweight and non intrusive. With dyslexia its reading that's an issue, not the underlying intelligence. An aid such as this one, can help deliver the world to some who may not otherwise have received it. Great Work.

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
