Why Check Your Version?

Knowing which version of Helperbird you are running is useful when troubleshooting issues with the support team, confirming you have the latest features, or checking that an update has been applied. The version number is always visible on the Settings page.


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 Settings Page

Click the gear icon in the top-left corner of the Helperbird menu. This will open the Settings page.


Step 3: Find the Version Number

On the Settings page, look for the Info section at the top. The Version row shows your current Helperbird version number, for example 2026.3.20.

This is the number you should share with the support team if they ask which version you are using.


How to Update Helperbird

Helperbird updates automatically through your browser's extension system. If you want to make sure you are running the latest version, you can manually check for updates.

In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode in the top right corner, then click Update at the top of the page.

In Edge, go to edge://extensions, turn on Developer mode in the bottom left corner, then click Update at the top of the page.

In Firefox, go to about:addons, click the gear icon, and select Check for Updates.

After updating, go back to the Helperbird Settings page to confirm the version number has changed.

This extension has been an absolute lifesaver. I have that fantastic combo of ADHD and Dyslexia while trying to go through college. I have difficulty keeping letters in order, seeing the gaps between words, and with ADHD on top, I lose focus A LOT. The immersive reader has been my new best friend. It drowns out the rest of the content on the page, changes the font to something I can read, and highlights the word as it reads to me. My eyes are forced to keep going in the right direction. I can slow down and pay attention to what I'm reading. I don't even have to go back and read the same paragraph 5 times to understand it! The screen overlay has been outstanding for eye strain and being able to distinguish between words and spaces. The custom font and spacing for research articles have been an enormous advantage! I can actually read the research papers now and not have this daunting 2 column fine print page to squint over.All around, this has been the best purchase I've ever had. I use this every day, with every assignment. I don't even struggle with story-based questions anymore. The immersive reader helps me read, listen, and understand the question all at once. I am still exploring what I can use this with and how it can make my academic career, and I keep getting impressed with every new way I find to use it. Seriously, try it out. You won't regret it at all. Even if you don't have dyslexia or ADHD, just try it out. You might find that it helps you understand the content you're trying to learn even better!
