ANPReader Lite

ANPReader is the first ANPR/ALPR (automated number plate/license plate recognition) application designed and optimised for mobile devices, providing single-click capture and accurate results within seconds.
It works well in a wide range of lighting conditions, supports oblique angles, can read skewed plates, and can perform ANPR recognition across a broad spectrum of distances and sizes.Unlike other ANPR scanning apps, this one runs entirely on your Android device without needing a network, so there are NO data charges or network delays whatsoever, and the number plates you want to read are NOT uploaded to any server.As well as handling poor and low lighting conditions, ANPReader also supports numerous formats of car, motorcycle, and heavy goods vehicle registration plates, including personalised and some international (non-UK) number plates.In the past, Automatic Number Plate Recognition ANPR technology has been mostly limited to expensive roadside cameras or sophisticated vehicle mounted devices.
Use in parking and garage security systems has been limited to costly server based solutions, and largely restricted to capturing number-plates facing directly towards a camera, and in fixed lighting conditions.Limitations:The lite version of ANPReader provides lower recognition capabilities and accuracy than the full versions.
It is limited to 20 ANPR reads per day, after which there is a short delay before recognition results are displayed to the user (full and pro versions do not have this delay).

Try to line up the car number plate such that it falls roughly within the green focusing rectangle.
The focusing box serves as a visual guide, but it does not matter if the number plate falls slightly outside its area.(2) Tap the camera icon on the screen to take a picture of the number plate.
ANPReader will analyse the image you took and recognise and display the number plate.
You can then tap the number to edit it or copy and paste it into another application.
To copy the number to the clipboard, swipe it with your finger and then select Copy to clipboard from the context menu.(3) To take a new image, simply press the back button on your Android device.(4) If youd like ANPReader to save each image that it recognises to your SD card, then please go to the Settings menu and check the option Save images to SD card.
Images will be written to your SD card using file names of the form plateID_date_time.png.
The Settings menu can be accessed by pressing the menu button on your Android device or by selecting it from the activity bar.
