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.

I purchased this for my daughter who has been having a lot of difficulty accessing the online work set remotely by her teachers during our National Lockdown because of Covid-19. Her dyslexia was really hindering her ability to complete tasks and keep up which in turn led to increased anxiety levels...a really horrid place to be in during a global pandemic! Helper bird has been a vast help and I fully recommend it and wish more schools knew about it. Thank You Helper Bird.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

Amazing Extensions in chrome. I Installed in my parents computer, because my dad have a poor vision, due to bad eye surgery. this extension really helps to have able to manipulate the font and font size for more comfortable use instead of chrome zoom feature. Because the chrome zoom feature is its overly zoom will cause the page looking super weird.

I found this extension on a whim to help myself. Suffering with post concussion syndrome symptoms and working remotely is really hard! This extension basically saved my job. It gave me back productivity and the ability to read the screen. This extension has so many neat features I never even knew I needed. I love this and you will too! You don't need to be dyslexic or have dyslexia for this extension to benefit you. Do yourself a giant favor and get it! I highly recommend it!
