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 the open (arrow) button on its row to open the Auto Scroll panel.
Step 4: Start Scrolling
Click the Start button in the panel. The page will start scrolling automatically, and the button changes to Stop while scrolling is active.
Adjusting Scroll Speed
You can adjust the speed using the slider in the Auto Scroll panel. Move the slider left for slower scrolling or right for faster scrolling, or use the - and + buttons for small adjustments. 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, click the Stop button in the Auto Scroll panel. Closing the panel also stops scrolling, and Auto Scroll stops on its own when the page reaches the bottom.
Tip: If you have keyboard shortcuts enabled in Helperbird, you can press Option + A (Mac) or Alt + Shift + A (Windows/ChromeOS) to start or stop Auto Scroll.
