Source code detection from downloaded video tutorials

Project Title

Source code detection from downloaded video tutorials

Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary

In this era of learning through the internet, majority of the computer science students prefer to learn programming and coding through downloaded video tutorials. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier if there would be something that automatically detects the code from the videos and writes it down somewhere, so that the learner doesn’t require to code it along with the instructor teaching in the video tutorial. Although, several different applications have been made for the detection and recognition of text, but there still isn’t anything that serves this purpose. Our personal encounters, as students, with rewinding and replaying the tutorial many times, so as to copy the exact error-free code from the tutorial made us come with the idea of making an application that detects and writes the code for students, so they don’t need to replay the videos a hundred times to see from where the errors are coming, though, they copied it exact from what was on the video.

Project Objectives

This application is going to be designed for this very purpose of bringing ease and not so frustrating experience of how to code and program. This application is going to extract the source code out of the videos, so the learners don’t have to go through all the kinds of annoying experiences.

Project Implementation Method

The OCR used would either be pytesseract OCR, or Google's Cloud Vision API if the accuracy is not achieved with the first method.
The front end is to be designed using wx.python.

Other technologies incluce OpenCV and Python Image Library.

Benefits of the Project

The major significance of this project would be for the students, not worrying about the errors that arise in replicating the code from the videos. Also, it will be a major time saver for students, as there wouldn’t be any need for rewind and replaying the videos many times, as all the code would be made available at one place, without worrying about what part of the code was there at which time interval. Also, this application would be a free source, as the target audience, the students, are rarely able to pay for applications.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

An executable setup file for the software and also a readme file containing the description for the usage of of the application will be delivered.
Also, the trained data files for the most used fonts will be delivered.
