Cheat Engine

i am trying to do automated attendance taker for zoom since my mother ,who is a teacher,spends more than an hour for taking attendance photos and looking them one by one so i tried to find addresses of people who are in meeting when i search their name with string i came up with user_name...PERSON NAME
but there was no pattern , some of the people's results are more than one and some of them had 0 results any ideas please?

If you want to take attendance by only looking at the namestrings, can't you just use OCR on the participants section to do that?

But that system would be easily cheated by spoofing names, so your mother would still have to look at the photos one by one. Unless you want to go down the route of training an AI to recognize the students, but then you would be in the wrong forum for that.

I think the OCR suggestion is a decent one and still potentially workable. If you have the OCR engine do a big text dump you could sort alphabetically and then you would know which students are missing by which numbers are skipped. And to double check, you could search for the ones you think are absent just to be sure that the OCR engine missed them somehow.

If this is too much for your mom, you could even go a step further and write a batch script that does most of this work for her when she feeds it an OCR text dump.
