## Description

Taximeter is an accurate Android taximeter designed with drivers and regulators. It features a realistic LED-style interface, 200+ presets in 40+ countries, and an easy tariff setup wizard.

Perfect for private hire, medical transport, limousines, and airport transfers, Taximeter also offers payment integrations, receipt generation, cloud data logging, backup/restore, and accessibility features like a talking taximeter. With multi-window support and a robust set of developer tools, it’s built for professional taxi operations.
