What's New in Zähler Scanner
1.2
October 12, 2026
This update makes recognition noticeably smarter — and the app noticeably faster. Gas and water meters: Recognition now reads the full register including decimal digits and places the decimal point automatically. Bidirectional meters (e.g. with solar): Detected readings are automatically assigned to the right register — import or export — based on your reading history. The app only asks when it’s ambiguous. Much smoother: Lists, charts, and the meter screen respond noticeably faster. Easier manual entry: The meter photo stays visible while you type, and the keyboard can now be dismissed easily. Meter scanning: The meter number is reliably filled in on the first scan, and “Scan Meter” and “Add Reading” are now prominent buttons. Corrections made simple: Clear a wrong value and save the entry anyway. Deleted readings now stay deleted. Many more recognition and stability improvements.
