What the data lets you do

  • Every verse, placedStart and end of every verse in the original recording. Play, jump, or clip any range.
  • Words that flowWord boundaries with no gaps inside a breath, so highlighting moves as the reciter does.
  • Letter by letterEach letter follows the actual sound, at 10 ms. Silent letters are marked, not lit. Made for learning.
  • Real stops and joinsWhere the reciter actually paused or joined, across verse boundaries too. Not the printed marks.
  • A pure Quran timelineIsti’adha, basmala, and repeats set apart. One clean take per verse when you want it.
  • Every riwayah as recitedWarsh, Qalun, and Shuba with their own verse splits, words, and script. Never projected onto Hafs.
  • Reviewed by peopleNothing ships on the machine alone. Every flagged place is checked, every change is signed, faulty verses are listed, never hidden.
  • Any reciter, on requestPick from the catalog or send a recording. Timings are usually ready in a day or two, and stay open to correction.
