I’m not dyslexic, but after a poor reaction to general anaesthetic, I had problems with my saccades for a while, and it manifested very much like this. Nothing would hold still, and I’d see stuff in the wrong place. I wonder if dyslexia is as “simple” as a saccadic deficiency at root... Edit: well, whaddya know. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9842764/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9842764/

There are tools that overlay lines over text, or only show a line at a time. Apparently this can help to train your eyes to not dart around during the saccade.

I don't think that's what dyslexia is. It's a flaw at a different level of perception, or else people with dyslexia (like myself) wouldn't have difficulty spelling or keeping left right straight. I can read fine, but spelling is hell. I also think dyslexia is a much wider category with many different root cause than most people talk about. Kinda like how autism exists on a spectrum the same thing is true for dyslexia.
