Administrative guide for deploying Helperbird in your organization. Manage licenses, deployments, and team accessibility.

·

This guide walks administrators through deploying Helperbird across your organization, whether you're using Google Chrome with G Suite or Microsoft Edge with Microsoft 365. Follow these steps to make Helperbird available to all your users automatically.

Before you start: You'll need administrator access to either the Google Admin Console or Microsoft 365 Admin Center.


Deploying on Google Chrome

Step 1: Access Chrome Management

Log into your Google Admin Console at admin.google.com. Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Apps & Extensions.


Step 2: Add the Helperbird Extension

Select the Organizational Unit where you want to deploy Helperbird. Click the + icon, select Add from Chrome Web Store, and enter Helperbird's extension ID: ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme


Step 3: Configure and Deploy

Set the installation policy to Force Install (or your preferred setting). Click Save to deploy the extension to all users in your selected organizational unit.

Tip: If you want to test first, deploy to a small test group before rolling out to your entire organization.


Deploying on Microsoft Edge

Step 1: Access Edge Management

Log into the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Navigate to Settings > Services & Add-ins > Microsoft Edge Management.


Step 2: Add the Helperbird Extension

Under Manage Extensions, add Helperbird's extension ID: bkibfggdahioahpokehoiimdmdjefjmd


Step 3: Configure and Save

Specify your deployment options (such as force install), then click Save to apply the configuration changes.

Tip: Make sure to select the appropriate deployment scope for your organization's needs.


Verifying the Deployment

Step 1: Test on Chrome

Log into a user account within your Organizational Unit and open Chrome. Helperbird should be automatically installed in the extensions toolbar.


Step 2: Test on Edge

Log into a user account and open Microsoft Edge. Check that Helperbird appears in the extensions toolbar.


Step 3: Confirm Functionality

Click on the Helperbird icon to ensure it opens correctly and all features are accessible to your users.

Tip: Changes can take up to 15 minutes to propagate. If users don't see Helperbird immediately, have them restart their browser or wait a bit longer.

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.

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.

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 definitely 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.

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.
