PILLAR · LONG-FORM + CITATIONS
Every ayah the khateeb quoted, timestamped.
Jumu'ah ends and the only thing you remember is one verse you wish you could look up. Quran Identifier listens to the whole khutbah — or the recording afterward — and gives you a scrollable transcript of every Quranic citation with its timestamp, Surah, ayah, and a live English rendering of the Arabic in between. Send the list to a friend who missed it.
Live khutbah demo
Translate a khutbah in real time
Hold your phone near the speaker. We transcribe ~15-second chunks of Arabic and stream a faithful translation back. Quranic verses use known translations — we never paraphrase the Quran.
Audio chunks are streamed over HTTPS, transcribed once, and discarded — never stored.
Citation timeline
A scrollable, timestamped list of every Quranic ayah recited during the khutbah — Surah, ayah range, Arabic, and the second-mark in the recording.
Live English alongside the Arabic
Sub-second translation for the non-Arabic portions of the khutbah, so the citations have context, not just a verse number.
Shareable transcript
Generate a clean link of the full khutbah citation list — one tap to send it to your group chat or save it for muraja'ah.
Tuned for khutbah register
Trained on classical Arabic and rhetorical patterns — fasaha, common khateeb cadence — not casual dialect, which is what most ASR systems break on.
How it works
- Step 1
Start before the khutbah, or upload after
Tap 'Khutbah mode' before the imam begins, or drop in a recording later — both produce the same timeline.
- Step 2
We listen for citations in real time
Every recitation segment is identified, timestamped, and pinned to the timeline as the khutbah unfolds.
- Step 3
Open, share, or save
Browse citations after the khutbah, share the public link, or save it into your scan history for revision.
Use cases

Loved by listeners worldwide
"I'd been hunting for the qari behind a clip I heard in a friend's car for two years. One 18-second recording and Quran Identifier got it — Sheikh Maher Al-Muaiqly. Insane."
"I travel a lot for work and hear recitations everywhere — taxis, mosques, YouTube. This is the only tool that actually nails the Surah AND the reciter from short clips. Daily use for me now."
"As a Quran teacher, I use it weekly with students. They record any recitation they love and we discuss the qira'at and the qari together. Worth every penny of the credit pack."

Frequently asked
Is the live khutbah feature available now?
Citation timeline (audio in → ayah list out) is live for credit-pack holders. Real-time on-screen translation during a live khutbah is in beta — paid credit-pack holders get early access first.
How long a khutbah does it handle?
Up to 60 minutes per session. Longer recordings can be split into back-to-back uploads; full-length single-upload support is on the roadmap.
Which languages does the translation support?
English at launch. Urdu, French, Indonesian, Turkish, and Spanish are in the priority queue based on user demand.
How accurate is the citation detection?
Citation accuracy is higher than open-air reciter ID because khutbah Arabic is formal and the imam pauses between citation and commentary. Expect ~95% of cited ayahs to be caught and correctly linked.
Is the audio stored anywhere?
No. Audio streams through our matching pipeline in memory and is discarded after the citation timeline is generated. Only the citation list and timestamps are saved to your history.
Can I record discreetly at the masjid?
Yes — the app records silently from your pocket. As always, follow your masjid's etiquette around recordings.
