Quick Actions puts your most-used Helperbird features right at your fingertips. Instead of searching through menus, you can access everything you need in one spot.

Here's how to customize it.


Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in the top right corner of your browser. The Helperbird menu will open, showing your current Quick Actions at the top with icon boxes.


Step 2: Add Your Favorite Features

Look for the Quick Actions button near the top of Helperbird, beside the icon boxes. It looks like a small grid of squares with a plus sign (+), and says "Quick actions" when you hover over it. Click it.

A list of all available features will appear. Browse through and click any feature you want to add to Quick Actions. A green checkmark will appear on the right of the feature to show it has been added.

The feature will instantly appear in your Quick Actions area.

Step 3: Remove Features You Don't Need

If you want to remove a feature from Quick Actions, click the Quick Actions button again.

Find the feature you want to remove in the list and click it. The green checkmark will go away, and the feature will disappear from your Quick Actions area right away.

Tip: Add the features you use every day to Quick Actions. It saves you time and keeps the tools you rely on in one place.

change the blur into words

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!

Helperbird helps enhance my studying and research efforts by allowing me to add sticky notes and highlight important stuff on websites, or e-books. I can also easily remember to read articles later.
