A Helperbird Feature is Not Supported

If you're seeing a Feature Not Supported message, don't worry - you didn't do anything wrong. Some websites are built in a way that makes it hard for Helperbird to work its magic.

Here's what's happening and what we're doing about it.


Why This Happens

Some sites like Google Docs don't use regular HTML text. Instead, they use something called canvas rendering, which basically draws text like an image rather than displaying it as actual text.

When text is rendered this way, Helperbird can't modify it the same way it does on regular websites. Features like font changes, text spacing, or line height adjustments won't work on these pages because the text isn't accessible in the usual way.


What We're Doing About It

We're actively working on solutions to make Helperbird work on more sites, including those that use canvas rendering.

Our team is constantly improving the extension to expand compatibility. We know how important it is for Helperbird to work everywhere you need it, and we're committed to getting there.


How You Can Help

Your feedback is incredibly valuable.

If you run into a site where Helperbird doesn't work, let us know through our feedback page.

Tell us which site you were on and which feature you were trying to use. This helps us prioritize what to work on next and makes Helperbird better for everyone.

Tip: In the meantime, try using Helperbird's features on other tabs while you work on canvas-based sites. Many users keep a separate tab open for reading or research where Helperbird works perfectly!

Brilliant extension! Have tired it for my daughter and she has come on leaps in school. While there are plenty of free features, the paid ones are only 30 USD a year. Can't recommend this enough.

Helperbird does so many things that are game changing for me! By far the two most important are the font changes and the highlight ruler. I can change fonts to something dyslexia friendly. The ruler helps me stay on the line I'm trying to read. These two things change the blur into words! Tech support has been great when I have had problems!

Helperbird is one of the most helpful tools I've ever used. It has so many great features that not many other apps or software have. The free version can be installed and stay forever on your browser. Other companies don't always give you access for free or give access for free forever. When you do get access to the Pro version or other paid plans, you expand your opportunity to read and stay focused better. One of the other great things about Helperbird is their support service. They have a video for every single feature that you can use. They are simple and helpful videos that make the learning process a lot easier. In addition, they have great live chat support. They are super nice and helpful. They always encourage people to give suggestions on how to improve Helperbird. Why is this important? It shows they really care about people with disabilities or people in general.
