The Utility Meter Reader application translates the reading of analog utility meters into digital form which is displayed to the user. The digital reading may be stored in a database and may also be emailed or downloaded to a utility company.

The majority of utility meters use analog dial displays. These are counter intuitive and difficult to read as the dials alternate clockwise and counter clockwise.

Utility Meter Reader makes it easy to track energy consumption, and even report readings to their utility. It also lets customers validate readings on their bill. To use Utility Meter Reader, the user takes a picture with his/her iPhone or downloads a picture of the meter. The
user places the app frame over the dials and the application displays the reading in digital form.
