Abstract
Identifying dyslexia among Malaysian citizens, especially children nowadays is a prominent issue. The usual practice of dyslexia screening tests in the Malaysian school system is by teacher's observation and intervention. However, this is usually time-consuming, less accurate and lacking additional supporting tools. Moreover, dyslexic children enrolling in a normal education system will encounter many problems for the teacher and the children themselves. A Malay language mobile-based application for a dyslexia screening test named Kiddo Disleksia has been developed to solve this issue. However, it has not been tested in terms of Quality of Experience (QoE) as well as usability. Therefore, this research aims to test the QoE level of Kiddo Disleksia and also to compare the traditional dyslexia screening test with Kiddo Disleksia in terms of usability. To test the QoE, several special education teachers are required to rate Kiddo Disleksia using Mean Opinion Score (MOS). Ten children were tested using Kiddo Disleksia and 80% of them recognized as dyslexic. This result also similar with the traditional paper-based screening test. Therefore, the Kiddo Disleksia application is considered reliable for dyslexia screening tests for children. For QoE, the results show that the mean values of MOS are 3.9 and above. Therefore, the quality of experience during dyslexia screening tests can be enhanced using Kiddo Disleksia.
