PILLAR · ONE-TAP AUDIO ID
The Shazam built for the Quran.
Shazam can name a pop song in three seconds. It can't tell Al-Afasy from Al-Sudais, or Al-Fatiha from Al-Baqarah. Quran Identifier is the missing one: a single tap, a few seconds of audio, and you have the reciter, the Surah, and the exact ayah — before the next sentence is finished.
Try it now — no signup needed
Up to 18 seconds · ~94% accuracy on clear recordings · 200+ qaris
3-second first match
First candidate returns inside three seconds on a normal 4G connection — keep holding for 8–12s to lock in the ayah.
Source-agnostic
Live recitation, TikTok playback, a Reels clip, Quran radio in the car, a saved voice note — anything your mic can hear, we can identify.
Reciter + Surah + ayah, every time
Most tools stop at the qari. We hand you the verse range and the Arabic text, ready to paste into a caption or DM.
Confidence and runners-up
Every result ships a 0–100 confidence and the two next-best reciters, so you can sanity-check rather than guess.
How it works
- Step 1
Tap once
No menu diving, no account, no upload screen. The mic is the first thing you see.
- Step 2
Hold near the audio for ~10s
Phone speaker, masjid PA, a friend's TikTok — get the mic within arm's length of the source.
- Step 3
Read the match
Qari, Surah, ayah range, and Arabic text appear together with a confidence score.

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."
Audio is processed and deleted within seconds. Never sold, never trained on.

Frequently asked
Is there really a Shazam for the Quran?
Yes — and you're on it. Quran Identifier listens to any recitation and returns the qari, Surah, and exact ayah in 3–10 seconds. No app install, no signup for the first scan.
Why doesn't the actual Shazam work for Quran?
Shazam fingerprints commercial recordings — same producer, same master. The Quran has thousands of qaris reciting the same ayahs at different speeds, in different masajid, with different mics. A music fingerprint can't match across all that. Our model was trained specifically for it.
Can I identify a recitation from a TikTok, Reel, or YouTube clip?
Yes. Play the clip out loud and tap the mic — we listen through your device. File and URL upload are on the roadmap for credit-pack holders.
Does it work live, while the imam is reciting?
Yes. Get within ~3m of a speaker, tap before the ayah starts, and the first match usually arrives before the imam finishes the verse.
How short can the clip be?
8–12 seconds is the sweet spot. Famous openings (Al-Fatiha, Al-Ikhlas) can match on 3–4 seconds; obscure middle ayahs need closer to 18.
