I have a printed attendance sheet with two columns student name and signature. The student names are printed and if the student is present they have their name signed in front of it. For absentees the signature is missing. The printed sheet has a tabular format which is going to remain constant. I want to 1. find libraries that can detect the cells and look if the signature for a student is on the sheet, if yes then it store a value ("present" or 1) in a list
Prieliminary research shows that there are tools to detect textual values but that is not the goal here since I do not need the name of the student extracted from their signature, moreover, these libraries gloss over blank spaces which in this case means that the student was absent and needs to be recorded.
I have looked at some OCR tutorials but they do not look relevant to the problem that i am trying to solve. Should also mention here that I am noive programmer so a OCR is new to me
