Fix My macOS Python Quiz Automation Script (OCR + AI + Hotkey)

Fix My macOS Python Quiz Automation Script (OCR + AI + Hotkey)

⸻

Project Description:

I already have the full project downloaded with all scripts, requirements, and setup files. In theory, everything is there — but nothing seems to work on my Mac.

Problems I’ve run into:
• Dependencies don’t install correctly (OpenCV, Pillow, PaddleOCR, etc.).
• The OCR fails with errors (deprecated arguments, no text extraction).
• The hotkey trigger (/) doesn’t work.
• Even when the script runs, it doesn’t capture/recognize quiz text properly.

I don’t need the script rewritten from scratch — I just need someone experienced to fix what’s broken, change the code if necessary, and get it fully working on macOS Sonoma (Apple Silicon, Python 3.13).

⸻

What I Expect:
• A fully working script that:
• Installs cleanly in a virtual environment.
• Recognizes text on screen with OCR (PaddleOCR or fallback).
• Uses my OpenAI API key for AI answer selection.
• Responds to the hotkey / reliably.
• Works with Retina scaling.
• A clear setup guide so I can run it again on a fresh machine if needed.
• Updated requirements.txt / setup.py so dependencies install correctly.

⸻

Payment Terms:

I will only release payment if the script works on my Mac. If it doesn’t run properly after your fixes, I won’t pay.

⸻

Skills Needed:
• Python (automation, OCR, AI integration).
• macOS environment experience (permissions: Accessibility, Screen Recording, Input Monitoring).
• OpenCV, PaddleOCR/Tesseract, PyAutoGUI, Pynput, Selenium.

⸻

Deliverables:
• Fixed, working script
• Updated requirements
• Installation instructions
