What are Quick Actions?

Quick Actions are buttons at the top of the Helperbird menu that give you one-click access to your most-used features. Instead of scrolling through all the features, you can click a Quick Action button to instantly use a tool.

You can customize which features appear in Quick Actions so you have fast access to the tools you use most.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Anyone who uses certain Helperbird features frequently
  • People who want faster access to their favorite tools
  • Users who want a personalized Helperbird experience
  • Anyone who wants to simplify the Helperbird interface
  • People who want one-click access to specific 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.


Step 2: View Quick Actions

At the top of the Helperbird menu, you will see a row of colorful circular buttons. These are your Quick Actions.

Each button represents a different feature. Default Quick Actions include Highlight Menu, Reading Mode, Immersive Reader, Text to Speech, and more.


Step 3: Use a Quick Action

Click any Quick Action button to use that feature immediately.

Some buttons toggle a feature on or off (like Highlight Menu). Other buttons open a panel with more options (like Text to Speech or Translate).


Step 4: Customize Quick Actions

To add or remove features from Quick Actions:

  1. Click the plus (+) button in the Quick Actions area
  2. A menu will appear showing all available features
  3. Features with green checkmarks are currently in your Quick Actions
  4. Click any feature to add or remove it from Quick Actions
  5. Close the menu when you are done

Your changes are saved automatically.

Tip: Add the features you use most often to Quick Actions for faster access. You can have as many or as few tools as you want in your Quick Actions area.

What People Are Saying

Join over 1,000,000 people who use Helperbird every day.

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.

Huge fan of the zoom feature. It trumps the native zoom in your browser since the zoom level you set actually stays with you no matter what page you go to, which is very helpful and meshes well with the other features the app offers.
