How to Use Auto Scroll on Any Website

Learn how to use Helperbird's Auto Scroll feature to automatically scroll through web pages at your preferred speed. Perfect for hands-free reading.

What is Auto Scroll?

Auto Scroll automatically scrolls web pages at a steady pace you control. Instead of manually scrolling, the page moves on its own while you read. You can adjust the speed to match your reading pace.

This is a Helperbird Pro feature.


Who is This For?

Auto Scroll is helpful for people who want hands-free reading, those with motor difficulties that make scrolling uncomfortable, readers who prefer a consistent reading pace, anyone reading long articles or documents, and people using text-to-speech who want the page to follow along.


How to Enable Auto Scroll

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in the top right corner of your browser to open the extension menu.


Step 2: Go to the All Features Section

Scroll down to the All Features section and expand it to see all available features.


Step 3: Find Auto Scroll

Look for the Auto Scroll option in the features list. Click on it to open the settings panel.


Step 4: Turn It On

Toggle the Auto Scroll switch to enable it. The toggle will turn GREEN when enabled. The page will start scrolling automatically.


Adjusting Scroll Speed

Once Auto Scroll is enabled, you can adjust the speed using the slider in the settings panel. Move the slider left for slower scrolling or right for faster scrolling. Find the speed that matches your reading pace.

Tip: Start with a slower speed and gradually increase it until you find what's comfortable for you.


Stopping Auto Scroll

To stop scrolling, simply toggle the Auto Scroll switch off, or scroll manually with your mouse or trackpad - this will pause the automatic scrolling.

What People Are Saying

Join over 1,000,000 people who use Helperbird every day.

Helperbird is one of the most helpful tools I've ever used. It has so many great features that not many other apps or software have. The free version can be installed and stay forever on your browser. Other companies don't always give you access for free or give access for free forever. When you do get access to the Pro version or other paid plans, you expand your opportunity to read and stay focused better. One of the other great things about Helperbird is their support service. They have a video for every single feature that you can use. They are simple and helpful videos that make the learning process a lot easier. In addition, they have great live chat support. They are super nice and helpful. They always encourage people to give suggestions on how to improve Helperbird. Why is this important? It shows they really care about people with disabilities or people in general.

I have to admit, I have tried several other similar products which were awful. Helperbird is truly amazing! The font changes, colours, overlays, notes, text to speech and I love the 50 natural languages! 100% worth updating.

My son has dyslexia and has been struggling with parts of distant learning over the last year. We recently discovered this software and he is loving everything about it, especially with the ease of following directions and completing his assignments! We have used several other tools but this has everything a dyslexia person needs all in one bundle! The upgrade is definitely worth it to make our daily struggles, on the computer, run much smoother. I also greatly appreciate customer support (helpdesk). They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up on the computer for my son to most successful.
