What is Math Reader?

Math Reader extracts math problems and equations from any webpage and opens them in Microsoft Immersive Reader. This gives you a cleaner, more focused view of the math content.

In Immersive Reader, you can adjust text size, use text-to-speech to hear the equation read aloud, and use other reading tools.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Students working with math problems online
  • People who find math equations hard to read on busy webpages
  • Anyone who wants to hear math problems read aloud
  • People with dyscalculia who benefit from clearer math presentation
  • Anyone who needs a distraction-free view of math content

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: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Math Reader

Look through the list of features until you see Math Reader.

It has a calculator icon next to it.

Click on Math Reader to start using it.


Step 4: Select the Math Area

After clicking Math Reader, a message will appear saying Drag to Select an Area on the Screen.

Your cursor will change to a crosshair. Click and drag to draw a rectangle around the math problem or equation you want to extract.

Try to select just the math content, avoiding extra text or images.


Step 5: View in Immersive Reader

After you select the area, Helperbird will process the math content.

The equation will automatically open in Microsoft Immersive Reader. Here you can:

  • Increase the text size for easier reading
  • Use text-to-speech to hear the math read aloud
  • Change the background color and font
  • Use other Immersive Reader features

Tip: Math Reader works best when you select a clear area around the math problem. If the result is not correct, try selecting a larger or smaller area around the equation.

I have to admit, I have tried several other similar products which were awful. Helperbird is truly amazing! The font changes, colours, overlays, notes, text to speech and I love the 50 natural languages! 100% worth updating.

It used to be a little rough but the Helperbird support team gave me access to the beta and can't wait for it to be released. Giving it 5 stars mostly for support and the upcoming features.
