Rockids is a mobile app that screens for dyslexia risk in children as young as 3 by analyzing eye and finger movements during a 5-minute reading simulator task. It aims to provide early risk indicators before reading failure occurs, offering reports for parents to share with specialists. The approach of using eye-tracking and touch signals without requiring letter knowledge is somewhat novel, but the project appears to be a commercial product with limited open-source information.

Target audience: parents, educators, healthcare professionals
