How to Check Your Grammar on Any Website with Helperbird

Learn how to use Helperbird's Grammar Checker to check and correct your grammar on any website. A complete guide to the Grammar feature.

What is the Grammar Checker?

The Grammar Checker reviews your text and corrects grammar mistakes. You can type or paste text into it, or select text on a webpage, and Helperbird will return a corrected version. This is different from the Spell Check feature, which only checks spelling — the Grammar Checker looks at sentence structure, word usage, and overall grammar.

This is a Helperbird Pro feature.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Students writing essays, emails, or assignments
  • Anyone who wants a quick grammar check before sending a message
  • English language learners who want help with grammar
  • People with dyslexia or writing difficulties
  • Anyone who wants to improve their writing

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.


Step 2: Select Text on a Webpage

Go to any webpage and highlight the text you want to check. Click and drag to select a sentence or paragraph. You can also type or paste text directly into the Grammar Checker in the next step.


Step 3: Open the Grammar Checker

Use the Highlight Menu, the right-click context menu, or find the Grammar option in the Helperbird menu. The Grammar Checker panel will open with your selected text ready to check.

If you did not select text beforehand, you can type or paste text into the text area. The Grammar Checker supports up to 1,000 characters at a time.


Step 4: Check Your Text

Click the Check this button. Helperbird will analyze your text and return a corrected version with grammar fixes applied.


Step 5: Use the Corrected Text

Once the corrected text appears, you can:

  • Copy the corrected text to your clipboard using the Copy button
  • Listen to the corrected text read aloud using the Listen button
  • Start over to check a new piece of text

Tip: Use the Grammar Checker alongside the Spell Check feature for the most thorough review of your writing. Spell Check catches misspelled words in real time, while the Grammar Checker reviews sentence structure and word usage.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

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.

I am an assistive technology consultant for 30 school districts. I am adding Helperbird to the list of reading resources that I have available.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. My daughter is newly diagnosed with dyslexia and I heard an interview with Robert on a Newstalk podcast and sought it out. I wasn't sure if I had it installed correctly on her laptop and Robert was on straight away to help. He was amazing. This app has changed everything for my daughter. Everything is accessible to her and everyday tasks and schoolwork are so much easier. She also has visual stress so the coloured overlay feature is a game changer for her. I would highly recommend this app to anyone, she couldn't be without it now!

Huge fan of the zoom feature. It trumps the native zoom in your browser since the zoom level you set actually stays with you no matter what page you go to, which is very helpful and meshes well with the other features the app offers.
