How It Works

Helperbird is translated into over 65 languages. You do not need to change any settings inside the extension: Helperbird automatically detects the language your computer or browser is set to and displays all menus, labels, and feature names in that language.

If your computer is set to French, Helperbird will appear in French. If your computer is set to Japanese, Helperbird will appear in Japanese. It is that simple.

I have been trying to find ways to make my child happy to go to school again, and someone recommended helperbird. She loves helperbird, and she is now much happier about the idea of returning to school. I think this might be a game changer, as they do so much web based schoolwork and research. She says they really understand people with dyslexia
