Dyslexia screening in adults is an open challenge since difficulties may not align with standardised tests designed for children.We collect eye-tracking data from natural reading of Danish texts from readers with dyslexia while closely following the experimental design of a corpus of readers without dyslexia.To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to classify dyslexia from eye movements during reading in Danish.We experiment with various machine-learning methods, and our best model yields a 0.85 macro F1 score.
