Live khutbah translation, on your phone.

Open RecitID at Jumu'ah and follow the khutbah in your language — real-time AI translation of the imam's Arabic, sentence by sentence.

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.

Tap “Start translating” to see Arabic transcript and Englishtranslation appear here.

Audio chunks are streamed over HTTPS, transcribed once, and discarded — never stored.

Real-time

Sub-second latency from Arabic speech to translated text.

Khutbah-tuned

Tuned for classical Arabic and khutbah register, not casual speech.

Private

Audio is processed only to generate translation. Nothing is stored.

  2. Step 2
