Helperbird is not compatible with all web browsers and devices. Some of Helperbird's features, such as the text highlighting and annotation feature, are not as customizable as I would like. For example, it is not possible to change the color or style of the text highlighting. Some of Helperbird's features, such as the ability to read aloud web pages in different languages, are not yet fully developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's insane what you can do with Helperbird. I felt like it was a text editor for every single website. I have trouble pronouncing some words, so I appreciated the cute menu of tools that actually voices a paragraph in a pleasant female voice. You can also translate the text by automatically pasting it in Google Translate, look up words in the Dictionary and even count the words and characters.

My husband who is a little dyslexic really appreciates that you can change colors of the words, change fonts, zoom in, space out the letters, and even emphasize the links with little rainbow underlines.

We're especially impressed with the Dyslexia Ruler, where there's a straight line of color overlay over a line of words that is fixed at a certain point on the screen, making reading easy if you're reading a whole block of words. Such a simple thing but it's genius!

The overlay of color over text is such a good idea to reduce screen brightness and strain on the eyes. Blue is my preferred color for this.

And that's just off the top of my head! This thing has so many features that it even has a feature to USE its features... a shortcut command to scroll down the Chrome extension to your desired adjustment feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really! It's beyond expectations and very clever. I don't see how anyone wouldn't like it due to its numerous features at a very low price. If I were to be picky I would like a lifetime deal instead of annual payments as it is an extension that most people wouldn't need support in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wherever you stop reading, you can put a mark. It can save our websites. The auto scroll feature available on the platform makes it wonderful. It also helpes me a lot in reading as it makes less time in eye contact with screens and it adds by this a great value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there is a policy change or update then there is nothing that can inform users about this which is not really a good thing for many of the users who likes using such a platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What's most helpful about Helperbird is that it makes viewing webpages online easier. The UI is incredibly intuitive and it's just easy to navigate and adjust according to our preferences. You can adjust seeing colours, font sizes and is sizing in general which is super handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be quite buggy on some pages. I think it depends on how old the page is and how its been built which Helperbird can't function with. When it meets old pages, these adjusting/customisation options don't look good or work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it helps me to highlight the essential information within the documents, chronicles, reports and newsletter of my work; this faithfully helps me to highlight the most relevant information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps it has a more excellent range of colors to choose from and match what we like the most. Also, it has more fonts from which the text can be selected. There is no more to add Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the different use of fonts to customize what works best for your eyes to follow. I also love the reader mode because it helps cut down on distracting images, ads, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extension menu feels a bit clunky, and sometimes when you're on different websites the customized fonts will bleed past the typical margins and you end up scrolling over to see the whole thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an excellent application and browser extension that allows you to customize every aspect of your browser as you wish, providing the possibility to adjust font sizes, colors, and functionalities. This undoubtedly makes the web browsing experience unique and tailored to the tastes and needs of the Helperbird user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be excellent if in future updates more selectable languages were added; such as Spanish, French, etc. This would help Helperbird reach a larger number of users, as it is currently only available in English. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
