User Action Recorder and Playback

This project consists of two Python scripts that work together to record user actions, including mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and keyboard presses, and then play them back as recorded. This tool can be useful for automating repetitive tasks, testing, or demonstrating software functionalities.

Overview

• record_user_action.py: Records user's mouse and keyboard actions and saves them to a file (recorded_actions.txt). The recording stops when the ESC key is pressed.
• playback_recorded_session.py: Reads the actions recorded in recorded_actions.txt and replays them, simulating the user's original actions.

Installation

To use these scripts, you need Python installed on your system along with the pynput library, which is used for monitoring and controlling the keyboard and mouse.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pynput

Installing pynput

You can install pynput using pip:

pip install pynput

Usage

Recording User Actions

1. Run record_user_action.py to start recording your actions.

   python record_user_action.py

2. Perform the actions you want to record. The script will capture mouse clicks, scrolls, and keyboard presses.

3. Press the ESC key to stop recording. The actions will be saved to recorded_actions.txt.

Playing Back Recorded Actions

1. Ensure recorded_actions.txt is in the same directory as playback_recorded_session.py.

2. Run playback_recorded_session.py to start the playback of the recorded session.

   python playback_recorded_session.py

The script will replay the actions as they were recorded, including the timing between actions.
