Ashley Malone (ID: 0000009ff1a44469) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/18/2024 This is a game changer for me. As someone with autism and ADHD this extension is life saver for me with school. Seriously this is amazing and the developer genuinely cares about his users and his ability to help them. If you have any kind of disabilities or trouble with reading at all download this extension like yesterday!

MARIO GARCIA RODRIGUEZ (ID: 0000009a2421c064) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/13/2024 Simplemente increíble. Nunca he tenido una extensión con tantísimas opciones juntas. Como profesor, siempre la recomiendo a las familias de estudiantes con dificultades para mantener la atención, a la hora de leer, y otras necesidades específicas, aunque pienso que puede ser de uso para cualquiera. Un 10!

Christian Harris (ID: 000000580e68b811) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/06/2023 A great application for both accessibility and productivity. Anyone could benefit from something contained within this suite of tools.

David Bowers (ID: 00000078fa265072) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 This extension is the reason I could become a developer, Reading docs was a laborious task and near impossible especially if I grew tired and my dyslexia would get worse. With this app I found tool I never knew could help me and I am continously discovering more, there is a text reader, rules to follow the text on screen as I read, Tons on dyslexia friendly fonts and I have complete control over the styling and colors on the page without having to continously go through dev tools to find the relevant style to change to affect the DOM. This app is the bees knees of accessability and if you have any form of neuro divergence affecting your ability to read text on a screen this app is a definate must!!!

Charlie Nishelle Calkins (ID: 00000000e5c15ba6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 After using Helperbird I can't say enough positive things about it. This extension has truly transformed my online reading experience. Whether it's adjusting font sizes, reducing eye strain with the gray filter, or using the dyslexia-friendly fonts, Helperbird offers a range of features that cater to individual preferences and needs. The customizable color options and text alignment have also been incredibly helpful for personalizing my browsing. And the speed reading feature? It's a game-changer! Overall, Helperbird is a versatile, user-friendly tool that enhances accessibility and makes online reading a breeze. Highly recommended!
