"text": "Dyslexia is a specific learning disability with neurological origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the perception of visual and auditory components of language. General misspells have already proven to be a useful source of knowledge for various applications (Gelman and Barletta, 2008; Piskorski et al., 2008; Baeza-Yates and Rello, 2012) . A list of annotated errors of children with dyslexia in German is a useful resource because the errors that people with dyslexia make reflect the types of difficulties that they have (Sterling et al., 1998) . As a matter of fact, these type of written errors have been used for various purposes such as studying dyslexia (Arag\u00f3n and Silva, 2000; Connelly et al., 2006) , diagnosing dyslexia (Schulte-K\u00f6rne et al., 1996; Toro and Cervera, 1984) , for build tools to treat 1 and to create applications to support dyslexia, such as dyslexia screeners (Rello et al., 2016b) , spellcheckers (Korhonen, 2008; Pedler, 2007; Rello et al., 2015 ), text prediction software 2 or spelling exercises (Rauschenberger et al., 2015; Rello et al., 2014b) . There are similar errors resources for English (Pedler, 2007) and Spanish (Rello et al., 2014a; Rello et al., 2016a) but, to the best of our knowledge, this is first resource of this kind in German. There are similar errors resources for English (Pedler, 2007) and Spanish (Rello et al., 2014a; Rello et al., 2016a) but, to the best of our knowledge, this is first resource of this kind in German. In this paper, we present the creation of a new resource composed of German errors written by people with dyslexia that did not exist before. This involved the collection and the annotation of the errors with different kind of information, such as, phonological and visual information; and the creation of new categories specifically for German lan-1 Dyseggxia is available at https://itunes.apple. com/de/app/dyseggxia/id534986729?mt=8.",

The adaptation of a Spanish based method to the German language raised a number of challenges. For instance, the handwriting systems taught in schools in Germany are different from the Spanish ones, so the visual features needed to be redefined. We annotated each of the word-error pairs with linguistic features and two new error categories were specially created for the German language. We are planning to use the resource for the detection of dyslexia in German (Rauschenberger, 2016) using web applications.",
