What is Search?

The Search feature helps you quickly find any Helperbird tool or setting. Instead of scrolling through all the features, you can type what you are looking for and see matching results instantly.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Anyone who wants to find features quickly
  • People who are new to Helperbird and exploring tools
  • Users who cannot remember where a specific feature is located
  • Anyone who wants faster access to Helperbird tools
  • People who use many different features

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


In the top right corner of the Helperbird panel, look for the search icon. It looks like a magnifying glass.

Click the search icon or click the Open search button.

A search bar will appear where you can type.


Step 3: Search for Features

Type the name of the feature you are looking for. Helperbird will instantly filter the results to show only matching tools.

You can search by:

  • Feature names like "Reading Mode", "Voice Typing", or "Translate"
  • Categories like "Reading", "Writing", or "Dyslexia"
  • Keywords related to what you want to do

As you type, the results update in real time. Click on any feature in the results to open it immediately.

Tip: If you do not remember the exact feature name, try searching for what you want to accomplish. For example, search "read aloud", "highlight", or "fonts" to find related tools.

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!

Helperbird helps enhance my studying and research efforts by allowing me to add sticky notes and highlight important stuff on websites, or e-books. I can also easily remember to read articles later.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. My daughter is newly diagnosed with dyslexia and I heard an interview with Robert on a Newstalk podcast and sought it out. I wasn't sure if I had it installed correctly on her laptop and Robert was on straight away to help. He was amazing. This app has changed everything for my daughter. Everything is accessible to her and everyday tasks and schoolwork are so much easier. She also has visual stress so the coloured overlay feature is a game changer for her. I would highly recommend this app to anyone, she couldn't be without it now!
