Swedish firm Lexplore has combined artificial intelligence and eye-tracking cameras to create a screening tool that can identify dyslexic children. Already used across Stockholm’s municipal education board and in several private schools in Atlanta in the US, the system traces a reader's eye as it moves over a text. The technology is being tested at two schools, but will be rolled out nationwide by 2020. Lexplore, which has an informal partnership with Microsoft, has yet to work out a US pricing level, but one principal said it was "significantly cheaper" than current systems.

So far the system has achieved 95% accuracy.
