What is Auto Scroll?
Auto Scroll makes the page scroll automatically at a steady pace. Instead of manually scrolling with your mouse or keyboard, the page moves down on its own.
You can adjust the speed to match how fast you read.
Who is This For?
This feature is helpful for:
- People who want hands-free reading
- Anyone with motor difficulties that make scrolling hard
- People who want to focus on reading without interruptions
- Students reading long articles or documents
- Anyone who prefers a consistent reading pace
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: Open the All Features Section
Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.
Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.
Step 3: Find Auto Scroll
Look through the list of features until you see Auto-scroll.
Step 4: Open the Auto Scroll Panel
Click the open button (the small arrow icon) on the Auto-scroll row.
A panel will appear showing the auto scroll controls.
Step 5: Turn on Auto Scroll
In the Auto-scroll panel, click the Start button.
The page will immediately start scrolling down automatically. While the page is scrolling, the button changes to Stop — click it whenever you want the page to stop moving. Closing the panel also stops the scrolling.
Step 6: Adjust the Speed
At the top of the panel you will see a Scroll speed slider, with a bubble above it showing the current value.
Drag the slider, or use the - and + buttons on either side of it, to adjust how fast the page scrolls:
- Slide to the left to scroll slower
- Slide to the right to scroll faster
Find a speed that matches your comfortable reading pace.
Tip: Start with a slower speed and increase it as you get used to auto-scrolling. Auto scroll stops on its own when you reach the bottom of the page, and you can press the Stop button at any time.
