Built by a dyslexic programmer with love in Ireland 🇮🇪
My son has dyslexia and has been struggling with parts of distant learning over the last year. We recently discovered this software and he is loving everything about it, especially with the ease of following directions and completing his assignments! We have used several other tools but this has everything a dyslexia person needs all in one bundle! The upgrade is defiantly worth it to make our daily struggles, on the computer, run much smoother. I also greatly appreciate customer support (helpdesk). They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up on the computer for my son to most successful.
omg i can actually read now
The free version of this is so great and helpful to a LOT of people…but the upgraded version is next level:)
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!
Love this extension works beautifully overall. Is there a way that this could have more compatibility with Salesforce system?
I have been trying to find ways to make my child happy to go to school again, and someone recommended helperbird. She loves helperbird, and she is now much happier about the idea of returning to school. I think this might be a game changer, as they do so much web based schoolwork and research. She says “they really understand people with dyslexia”.
Let me tell you, I didn’t know how badly I needed this until I got it. It was much like when I got glasses, I had just assumed that was how everyone saw the world…then it wasn’t. Thank you Helperbird for the efforts you put forth in this lovely extension for everyone to use. The fact that you can use so much on the free just goes to show that this is something to help aid people not just some money grab. However with the pricing it still couldn’t be a money grab. Thank you all again for the efforts you put forth so others can enjoy the internet more fully.
I am an assistive technology consultant for 30 school districts. I am adding Helperbird to the list of reading resources that I have available.
Have an amazing collection of assistive tools that have benefits for everyone. For me, the combination of Microsoft’s Immersive Reader and Apple’s reading machine voice (US Alex) makes Helperbird my first choice for processing web content.
I purchased this for my daughter who has been having a lot of difficulty accessing the online work set remotely by her teachers during our National Lockdown because of Covid-19. Her dyslexia was really hindering her ability to complete tasks and keep up which in turn led to increased anxiety levels…a really horrid place to be in during a global pandemic! Helper bird has been a vast help and I fully recommend it and wish more schools knew about it. Thank You Helper Bird.
how do you change languages, the starting page is all in dutch
Very helpful and makes text much easier to read! Would defiantly recommend to dyslexic readers. Works almost flawlessly on webpages.
It’s pretty good. The one thing I would really like to see is that stuff like immersive reader could save your settings. it’s a little bit of a pain to have to reset everything each and every time you open it. (Font, size, color, etc.)
İ cant listen in my language , i cant use same google translate with ctrl +c and ctrl+v. I need in same page right click read for me (i want to listen Turkish language)
Making such an useful tool, replying to every single comment or review and giving support to people’s issues as soon as possible?? Carefully, he is a hero.
I found this extension on a whim to help myself. Suffering with post concussion syndrome symptoms and working remotely is really hard! This extension basically saved my job. It gave me back productivity and the ability to read the screen. This extension has so many neat features I never even knew I needed. I love this and you will too! You don’t need to be dyslexic or have dyslexia for this extension to benefit you. Do yourself a giant favor and get it! I highly recommend it!
Simply amazing!!! God sent and a life saving app for a physician with severe dyslexia . The best app ever for ppl with dyslexia on the web
A truly great extension! We installed this on all of our 200 Chromebooks across the 3 special schools i work in and it has greatly helped our students use technology to learn. It not only helps our dyslexic learners, but also our autistic and ADHD students by helping remove distractions and making the web a more accessible place. Support is fast and efficient, and updates are very regular with new features constantly being added!
I just bumped into your product and …wow! I think more teachers and students should know about this tool. This is game changing
I normally dont write reviews but wanted to say thank you so much for this app. Its changed my life and I really love the Reader mode and OCR features!. Thank you thank you
just wanted to say i really enjoy this its very helpful!
5/5
Helperbird offers a wide range of customization in one easy to navigate spot. Computers and dyslexia don’t always mesh, the features like ruler makes reading text heavy web pages easier. Tech support is amazingly responsive should you need any help.
It is simply amazing, Helperbird helps you find out from everything from the Readermode feature, color changes and so much more. It has really changed my life!!
The best in its class – SUPERB – It does everything I need for my aging eyes.
so useful and helpful!! i can actually retain so much more info in my head now. thanks man, you are so awesome and i appreciate all the kind words. thank you. 🙂
