What is the Admin Dashboard?

The Helperbird admin dashboard gives administrators a clear view of how Helperbird is being used across their school or district. It shows total users, usage trends, and which features are being used most.


What You Can See

The dashboard includes:

Yearly Breakdown

Total users, total views, and overall adoption for the current year.

Last Week

New users and uninstalls from the past 7 days so you can track week-over-week growth.

Last 14 Days

New users and uninstalls from the past two weeks.

Last Quarter

New users and uninstalls from the past 90 days for a longer-term view of adoption.

Recent Users

A list of the most recent users, showing their domain and how many times they have used Helperbird. This helps you see which schools and organizational units are actively using the extension.

Most Used Features

A breakdown of which Helperbird features are being used most. This helps you understand how students and staff are benefiting from the tool.


License Management

Helperbird licenses are managed through Google Admin Console or Microsoft Intune, not through the Helperbird dashboard itself. This integrates directly with your existing device and user management workflows.

Google Admin Console:

  1. Go to Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions.
  2. Select the organizational unit you want to license.
  3. Force-install Helperbird and add your subscription key to the JSON policy.
  4. All users in that OU are automatically licensed.

Microsoft Intune:

  1. Push the Helperbird extension and subscription key to your target user groups or devices.
  2. Helperbird activates automatically on managed devices.

When you add or remove users from your organizational unit or device group, their Helperbird access updates automatically. There is no separate license assignment step inside Helperbird.


How to Access the Dashboard

The admin dashboard is set up for your organization by the Helperbird team. Contact us at Helperbird support and we will get your dashboard ready.

Once set up, you will receive a link to access your dashboard. The dashboard updates automatically and does not require any installation.

It's just a one-stop solution if I want to customize my page. With very good UI design.

Immersive Reader from Microsoft is amazing, but my friends in Google districts were missing out until I found Helperbird. Great for proofreading! Simply highlight the text and have it read back to you, change the spacing in your view, highlight parts of speech, even translate by word or by document to have it read to you and adjust the speed! So amazing that I posted a YouTube tutorial within days of installing it. Plus, unlike many extensions, it didn't ask for obnoxious permissions like asking to delete everything in my Google Drive. #Winner #a11y

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

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.
