Dyslexia Fonts - Switch to fonts designed for easier reading.

Reading Mode - Strip away distractions and focus on the content.

Immersive Reader - Use Microsoft's reading tool for a focused experience.

Overlays - Add a colored overlay to reduce eye strain.

Tap on any feature to enable it. Most features have a toggle that turns green when active.

Step 4: Customize Your Settings

Your settings are saved automatically and will apply the next time you use Helperbird.

Step 5: Use the Helperbird App

You can also open the Helperbird app directly from your home screen. The app is a quick setup guide that walks you through enabling and using the Helperbird extension in Safari. It's handy if you ever need a refresher on getting started.
