                         measuring his own energy consumption, which can be done through 
                         digital platforms, such as websites or mobile applications. The 
                         Equatorial Energy group's electric utilities have been working on 
                         developing a chatbot application through which consumers can send 
                         an image of their energy meter to a server that runs a method 
                         based on image processing and deep learning for the automatic 
                         recognition of consumption reading. However, the incorporation of 
                         these methods in a solution available to the public should 
                         consider factors such as response time and accuracy, so that it 
                         presents a satisfactory response time when it needs to handle a 
                         large number of simultaneous requests. Therefore, this paper 
                         presents a comparative study between approaches developed for the 
                         automatic recognition of consumption readings in images of 
                         electric meters sent to the server. Response time performances are 
                         analyzed through stress tests that simulate the real application 
                         scenario. The mean average precision (mAP) and the accuracy 
                         metrics of the methods are also analyzed in order to evaluate the 
                         generalization of the used convolutional neural networks.",
