оприлюднено 8 місяців томуThanks for leaving a review. Getting feedback is super important for us to improve, so I really appreciate it.
I understand your concern about the 1,500 character limit for the free version of Immersive Reader. We're actually increasing that to 2,000 characters in our next update, which should help.
The limit is there because it costs us to run the Immersive Reader, and we need to balance it for everyone, both free and paid users.
If you have any more feedback or suggestions, please feel free to email me at robert.gabriel@helperbird.com. And if you feel like we've improved, we'd be grateful if you could consider re-reviewing us. It would mean a lot to us.
Thanks again,
Robert James Gabriel

- Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18423161, 2 місяці томуWhere to start! Firstly, I'd like to thank Robert (the developer) for his generosity - the app is extremely cheap as apps go, and if you request a discount, one is available on top of this. It is very apparent that this app is a labour of love - Robert is constantly working on it and improving things, adding new features, etc.
As someone with ADHD and ASD, I have always had to piece-meal together the features I need to help me study effectively - half a dozen different apps / extensions, and even then they don't quite meet my expectations. Helperbird, however, offers SO MUCH more, and all in one place - you can finetune your experience to your heart's desire, without shelling out for multiple apps that were abandoned ages ago.
I have tried it on two browsers, so far, and the experience is great on each - I have to applaud Jamie's dedicated to rolling it out on multiple browsers and operating systems, it can't be a small feat.
There is the occasional quirk or bug here and there, but the sheer breadth and depth of assistance Helperbird offers far outweighs having to quit and relaunch the extension now and then. If you do come across a bug, it's a chance to give back and send a bug report and help Robert refine the experience further.
The features I particularly love are summarise, simplify, sticky notes, highlighting, and the amazing immersive reader with TTS. I also love the speed reader, which will be even better once TTS is added to it.
I can't sing Helperbird's praises enough, and I'm excited for the planned updates detailed on its ClickUp!! (https://sharing.clickup.com/36059453/b/6-174196898-2/board if you're curious)
Thank you, Robert, for such a thoughtful - and genuinely helpful - app / extension. You are empowering the neurodivergent everywhere. 🙏 - Оцінка 5 з 5від Damon Robin, 2 місяці томуI have a been a user of Helperbird for the past year or so and a huge fan of the work Robert has done.
I have switched from Chrome to Firefox and glad this here too. 5/5.
Can't wait for Voice Typing support - Оцінка 5 з 5від Taylor Coffee, 2 місяці томуSaw it mentioned at Cast last night!. Love Immersive Reader

Tip: the Helperbird app, the width can be changed. - Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18529992, 2 місяці томуIt used to be a little rough but the Helperbird support team gave me access to the beta and can't wait for it to be released. Giving it 5 starts mostly for support and the upcoming features.

- Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18284842, 8 місяців томуSimplemente 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!
Simply amazing. I've never had an extension with so many options put together. As a teacher, I always recommend it to families of students with attention span, reading difficulties, and other specific needs, although I think it can be of use to anyone.

They gave me a preview of what's coming to Helperbird for Firefox, and I'm really excited about it.
I'd give a 5/5 rating for the current features and the sneak peek. I'll definitely provide an updated review once the new version is released.Відповідь розробника
оприлюднено 8 місяців томуHey Herschel,

I'm glad the preview of what's coming to Helperbird for Firefox got you excited. We're putting a lot of effort into making it great, so it's awesome to know it's being well received.

Cheers, - Оцінка 3 з 5від charlie, 2 роки томуive used this for about a year now and its somewhat okay. its useful for somethings such as changing fonts and its text to speech but so many things are locked behind a paywall it gets a bit frustrating.

оприлюднено 10 місяців томуHey Charile
Thanks for sticking with us for a year and for your honest feedback. Great to hear you're enjoying the font changes and text-to-speech features!
We've actually beefed up our free plan recently, adding more cool stuff you can use without hitting a paywall (I wish we didn't need a paywall, but need to keep the lights on). We're always trying to make Helperbird better and more accessible, so your thoughts mean a lot to us.
Check out the new features and let us know what you think. Your support is what keeps us flying high!
Cheers,
Robert James
Helperbird Team - Оцінка 1 з 5від Joules, 2 роки томуThis doesn't work, I have all the permissions set. The green message "immersive reader" says it is loading, but then nothing, no reading mode... super confused.

- Оцінка 4 з 5від Користувач Firefox 14199188, 4 роки томуEDIT : the reader fail on some websites with this error : "Sorry, we could not find any text on this page."
This happened on that website and some others :
https://www.gurumed.org/2021/02/25/il-y-a-quelques-messages-cachs-dans-la-mission-martienne-de-lastromobile-perseverance/
It works if I select the text before hand tho, is it the intended behavior ?
--------------------
Finally, I no longer have to use Edge to enjoy the immersive reader ! I'm very grateful for that.
Suggestion : atm it's a bit cumbersome to access the reader tool. Could you do something like what the Text To Speech (TTS) addon does, i.e :
Select any desired text. A play icon appears, click on it to start the voice reading.
Or maybe do what Edge does :
Select the text, then right click and click on "read aloud" in the context menu.
Anyway, thanks again for this addon, I think this will be useful to many.Відповідь розробника
оприлюднено 10 місяців томуHi there,
First off, a big thank you for your feedback and for sticking with Helperbird over the years. It's fantastic to hear that our immersive reader has been such a positive addition to your routine, especially compared to Edge!
I wanted to address the issue you mentioned with the reader on some websites. Since your last experience, we've rolled out a bunch of updates. That annoying "Sorry, we could not find any text on this page" message should now be a thing of the past. Plus, we've made the reader tool easier to use and more efficient, just like you suggested.
Your input on how to improve Helperbird is invaluable to us. If anything else pops into your head or if you've got more to share, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks again for your ongoing support and for helping us make Helperbird better.
Best wishes,
Robert James
