Common Questions
Is there an app like Shazam for the Quran?
Yes. RecitID works like Shazam for the Quran. It uses AI to listen to a Quran recitation and identifies the surah, verse number and reciter.
How does RecitID identify recitations?
RecitID listens to the Arabic being recited and matches it against every verse of the Quran. It returns the surah, the verse and the reciter.
Can I search Quran ayat by voice?
Yes. Hold your phone to a recitation and RecitID finds the surah and ayah from the audio, so you can search the Quran by voice with no typing and no Arabic needed.
How do I find a Quran reciter by voice?
Tap Detect while the recitation plays. RecitID compares the voice with 300+ reciters and names the reciter along with the surah and verse.
What is Live Khutbah mode?
Live mode records any Arabic speech (lectures, khutbahs, classes) in real time, transcribes it and translates it into 52 languages, so you can follow along in your own language.
Which reciters are supported?
130+ reciters for in-app playback, including Mishary Al-Afasy, Al-Sudais, Saad Al-Ghamdi, Khalid Al-Jalil, Islam Sobhi, Omar Hisham, Abdul Basit, Al-Husary, and more. RecitID can also identify 300+ reciters by voice from any audio source.
Can I scan a Mushaf with my camera to find a verse?
Yes. Smart Scanner uses OCR to read Arabic text from a printed Mushaf, a phone or tablet screen or a poster, and often from clear handwriting too. It finds the matching verse and opens it with translation, tafsir, transliteration and audio.
What reading modes are available?
Three: Verse-by-verse with translations, authentic 604-page Mushaf with Tajweed colour coding using the King Fahd Complex (KFGQPC) font, and Compact mode for continuous reading.
Is my audio stored?
Your recording is sent to our servers to be matched against the Quran, then deleted once the match completes. We keep no copy, never use it for advertising and never sell it. Our processing providers may retain request content briefly for security and abuse monitoring. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Does it work offline?
Quran reading works offline once cached. Audio detection and Live mode require internet.
What is the best Quran app?
RecitID combines recitation identification by sound, voice-based reciter recognition for 300+ reciters, live khutbah translation in 52 languages, Tajweed Mushaf reader, 130+ reciters for playback, verse explanations grounded in Tafsir al-Jalalayn, and 41 translation languages, all in one app.
