Recitation Coach
Recitation Coach on Ai Quran: listen to a named reciter, recite along or from memory, record yourself, and see word by word what was heard, with a named tajweed lesson for each slip. Four voice tools sit on the page: find an ayah by reciting a phrase, identify a published recitation playing nearby, follow a khutbah with the quoted ayat detected, and recite a passage from memory with the joins checked. Not a tajweed score, and it says so.
Practice first: listen, repeat, record
Pick a surah, an ayah and a reciter, then listen at 0.75x, 1x or 1.25x. Repeat one ayah or a range as many times as you set, loop any part of an ayah with the A-B trainer, let the page follow the reciter into the next ayah, or shadow the reciter and record over the playback. Hide words or first letters when memorising. Then press the microphone: the recording is reviewed word by word and each mismatch links a named Learn Hub rule.
What the review can and cannot say
The review shows what the speech engine heard beside what the ayah says. It never grades makhraj or awards a percentage. When the engine could not follow a recording, as happens with accents, phone microphones and noise, the page says so instead of marking words wrong, and nothing is written to your weak words. Measured on real recordings; the record is public in the project's QA folder.
Four ways to use your voice
Find an ayah by voice: recite any phrase and the matcher searches all 6,236 ayat on your device; three-word phrases land on the right ayah most of the time and ambiguous phrases are offered as a choice. Identify a recitation: a published recording playing nearby is matched by acoustic fingerprint, with the time and confidence measured on each run; someone reciting live is not a recording, so that goes through Find by voice. Khutbah Companion: live Arabic transcription with the ayat quoted at four words or more detected and opened in your language. Memorise and revise: hide a surah or a juz, recite it in one breath, and the joins between ayat are checked, repeats included.
Your recordings and your record
Recordings are processed in your browser or, if you choose it, on our own server and not stored there; the browser speech engine, if you pick it, sends audio to its maker. Weak words, attempts and your daily plan sync to your account when you are signed in, and the page says so. Cited Progress records the verse you opened, so review is a receipt, not a box you ticked.
FAQ
Does Recitation Coach score my tajweed with AI?
No. After you record, the speech engine's words are aligned to the ayah and each mismatch links a named Learn Hub rule. That is not makhraj grading and not a tajweed certificate, and no percentage is shown for it.
What if the engine cannot follow my accent?
When most of a recording comes back as mismatches, the page says the model could not follow it and treats the flags as prompts to listen back, not as mistakes; nothing is added to your weak words. This was measured on a corpus of non-native learners and the behaviour was changed because of it.
Can it identify a recitation playing nearby?
Yes, when it is a published recording of a reciter in the fingerprint corpus, which the Identify page lists live. It recovers the surah, the ayah and how far into the recording you are, with the time and confidence measured on each run. A person reciting live is not a recording; use Find an ayah by voice for that.
Why is there no microphone prompt on iPhone?
Safari has no Web Speech recognition, and the on-device Quran model needs more memory than most iPhones allow a page. Use play-along with the reciter there; Chrome or Edge on a desktop or Android add recording and review.
How does this help memorisation?
Hide-words modes mask text while you listen or recite. Memorise and revise hides a whole surah or juz and checks the joins between ayat, where hifz usually slips, and a repeated ayah is counted rather than marked wrong. Weak joins come back on a schedule.
