Explainable YOLO-Based Dyslexia Detection in Synthetic Handwriting Data
Dyslexia affects reading and writing skills across many languages. This work describes a new application of YOLO-based object detection to isolate and label handwriting patterns (Normal, Reversal, Corrected) within synthetic images that resemble real words. Individual letters are first collected, preprocessed into 32x32 samples, then assembled into larger synthetic 'words' to simulate realistic handwriting. Our YOLOv11 framework simultaneously localizes each letter and classifies it into one of three categories, reflecting key dyslexia traits. Empirically, we achieve near-perfect performance, with precision, recall, and F1 metrics typically exceeding 0.999. This surpasses earlier single-letter approaches that rely on conventional CNNs or transfer-learning classifiers (for example, MobileNet-based methods in Robaa et al. arXiv:2410.19821). Unlike simpler pipelines that consider each letter in isolation, our solution processes complete word images, resulting in more authentic representations of handwriting. Although relying on synthetic data raises concerns about domain gaps, these experiments highlight the promise of YOLO-based detection for faster and more interpretable dyslexia screening. Future work will expand to real-world handwriting, other languages, and deeper explainability methods to build confidence among educators, clinicians, and families.
