What do you like best about Helperbird?

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.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

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.

What problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

Slight dyslexia, eye strain, eye movements, easier reading, and pronunciation/enunciation. It's so much easier to work with Helperbird. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helperbird?

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.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

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 problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have issues in reading where most of the websites have colors that cause headaches after some time reading. Therefore, this platform adds a plate/color to the website to reduce the color and the shining light that it is giving and it is really having effect on me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helperbird?

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.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

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.

What problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some webpages use really hard styling and its hard to see text or more importantly, see IMPORTANT text. It's solving the need to see information clearly and highlight it as necessary. My eyesight isn't too good either so I find this tool is quite handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helperbird?

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.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

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.

What problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my work they always send us a lot of information about the activities or events that have taken place throughout the week, so it is very necessary to highlight the most important information found within the documents, we have to have the hand the fresh information since this depends on how we carry out our activities within the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Helperbird?

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.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

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.

What problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

While I'm not dyslexic, and this is geared more toward that, this is a massive benefit for people like me with ADHD who have a hard time staying focused to read through articles, documents, etc. The ability to get rid of distracting images and ads alone is a huge step forward!

What do you like best about Helperbird?

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.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

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.

What problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows adjusting and customizing various settings in web browsing for each user. Therefore, Helperbird provides many conveniences to users who find it difficult to navigate various web pages daily (It allows enlarging font size, adjusting font type, changing styles, colors, etc.).

What do you like best about Helperbird?

- Fast and easy to use and navigate through and add as an extension

-Helpful for people like me who sit on their computer for extended hours; inbuilt features like easier online viewing and sizing of texts aids with productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Helperbird?

- From my time of using the software, I have so far faced no issues and have more praises for hyperbird than negatives Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Helperbird solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps me adhere to my work and allows me to concentrate more. This is an essential tool for someone like me who suffers from chronic anxiety and can get reckless and lose focus from time to time. It's the little things we don't realise that add up to losing focus, like annoying ads on your window. This tool allows for a balanced and fair approach for those with ADHD, dyslexia and anxiety.
