Read numbers from water meters

[CrisRich]

I finally came up with an idea for an app that I would like to create as a beginner to learn how to use LiveCode:

Read and recognize the numbers from water and electricity meters and then use them for different purposes that I still have to define in detail.

My question: does anyone here know how to implement the reading and recognition of the numbers on the meters with the camera on iOS and Android smartphones? Or suggestions on where I can find information on that?

You can take pictures of the meters using this:

But as far as I know there are no OCR capabilities inwith LiveCode, so
to achieve that you would have to leverage external stuff as well as LiveCode.
