COMP 3583 HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTIONS PROJECT

What is it?

Our group project's goal is to automate the authentication of discord members as University students.

How does it work?

Using OCR (Open Character Recognition), your student Name and ID can be validated and authenticated.

We use two different OCR engines:

• Google Vision Label
• Tesseract OCR

DiscordJS handles the interactions between users and the OCR engines while also handling the validation process.
