Automatic Card Recharge

Abstract

This report presents a detailed overview of an Android mobile phone application developed to automate recharge of telecom prepay cards. The main scope is to target the android users who face difficulty in recharging prepay cards manually, they could neither see the digits on the card properly nor could they be able to read the instructions for how to recharge every time for different networks. The main objective therefore, is to automate this process and minimize the time taken to recharge a prepay card. Furthermore, for each transaction, the application will maintain a log of the recharged cards. The log will consist of the date, amount of card and the tax deducted. The application is built using Java and Tesseract (an open source Optical Character Recognition library) is also used
