About this app

Rawi identifies any Quran recitation — instantly, privately, entirely on your device.

Tap once and Rawi tells you exactly which ayah is being recited: the surah, the ayah number, the Arabic text, and a translation. All processing happens on your device. No internet required. No account needed.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap the Rawi button when you hear a Quran recitation
2. Rawi listens and transcribes in real time using on-device AI
3. In seconds you'll see the exact ayah — surah name, ayah number, full Arabic text, and translation

Rawi uses a fine-tuned Arabic speech model running entirely on your phone. It matches what it hears against all 6,236 ayahs of the Quran in real time with remarkable accuracy.

MUQRI — TEST WHAT YOU KNOW BY HEART

Muqri is a built-in hifz testing mode for anyone who learns Quran by heart. Start instantly with Juz Amma or set your own memorized range, and Muqri plays an ayah as a prompt. Recite the continuation by heart — Rawi listens and tells you if you got it right. Track your weak ayahs, review them, and build confidence in your hifz.

What’s new

Turning off anonymous analytics now takes effect straight away. One launch event could still be sent before the setting had been read.

Tapping Identify while the microphone was busy (a call, another app recording) left Rawi on "Listening…" for good. It now stops and tells you.

Rate Rawi in Settings opens the right Google Play page.

Your saved ayahs and settings are backed up again. The recitation model was crowding them out.

Rawi now installs on devices without GPS.
