Let the Page Scroll Itself

Reading a long article? Hands busy with something else? Just turn on auto scroll and let the page move at a steady pace while you read.

Helperbird's auto scroll keeps the page moving so you don't have to. Set the speed, sit back, and read.

Learn how to use auto scroll

  • Reading Mode - Strip a page back to just its text.
  • Text to Speech - Pair auto-scroll with read-aloud functionality for hands-free reading.
  • Reading Mode - Combine auto-scroll with a clean, distraction-free layout.

Pick Your Speed

Not everyone reads at the same pace. Auto scroll lets you choose:

  • Slow: For careful reading or dense content
  • Medium: A comfortable pace for most articles
  • Fast: For skimming or scanning through content

Click once to start. Click again to stop. Simple.


Why This Helps

Reading long content: No more constantly flicking your scroll wheel or trackpad. The page moves at a steady pace you control.

Following text-to-speech: Pair auto scroll with Helperbird's text-to-speech so the page scrolls along as the voice reads.

Mobility challenges: If using a mouse or trackpad is difficult, auto scroll removes that barrier entirely.

Presentations: Need to show a long webpage during a meeting? Auto scroll keeps things moving smoothly without fumbling with controls.


Who Uses This

People with motor difficulties who find constant scrolling tiring or painful.

Readers using text-to-speech who want the page to follow along.

Presenters showing web content in meetings or classes.

Anyone reading long articles who wants a more relaxed experience.

More reading features

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!
