Project description:
"I need an Android application that lets a user point the phone’s camera at a utility meter and have the current reading captured instantly by on-device OCR. The reading must appear on screen in real time, be tied to the authenticated user, and then be stored for later retrieval or sync with our back-end API.

Core features required:
• Real-time data processing – the number should populate while the camera is focused, without the user having to take a photo.
• Data storage and retrieval – readings need to be cached locally when offline and pushed to our server once connectivity returns.
• User authentication – email/password or phone-based login is fine as long as it is secure and quick.

A clean Kotlin codebase built in Android Studio is preferred, and I am open to libraries such as Google ML Kit or Tesseract for the OCR layer as long as they meet accuracy requirements. The UI can remain simple; clarity and speed are more important than heavy styling.

Deliverables:
1. Signed APK for testing plus the full, well-commented source code.
2. Setup notes so I can build the project and swap in production API keys on my machine.
3. Short demonstration video or live walkthrough proving that a meter is recognised, the reading is captured in under two seconds, and the record appears in the history list under the correct user account.

If you have shipped similar camera-based data capture tools before, I would love to see them." (client-provided description)
