Eine der schönsten Quran-Apps, die ich bisher genutzt habe. Schlicht, angenehm und wirklich hilfreich. Man merkt, dass viel Herz darin steckt.

Ghudi, UAE

I was wondering many times which surah or ayah is recited when I attended a gathering where the Quran was recited. Every muslim should get this app. It identifies the ayah very quickly.

Questions

Everything you might ask.

How do I find out which ayah is being recited?

Open Rawi and tap once. It listens to the recitation and names the surah and ayah in seconds, entirely on your device. No typing, no searching, no guessing which surah you just heard.

Can Rawi identify a Quran recitation by audio or voice?

Yes. Rawi is built for exactly this: it recognises the Quran by its audio. Hold up your phone to any live or recorded recitation and Rawi finds the matching ayah by sound, like Shazam for the Quran.

Can Rawi identify ayahs from a video, reel, or lecture?

Yes. Start Rawi, then play a reel, a YouTube clip, or a lecture in another app. Rawi keeps listening in the background and reveals the ayah the moment you switch back.

Can I use Rawi during Taraweeh or in prayer?

Yes. Rawi works fully offline and identifies ayahs in seconds, so you can quietly find the ayah you are hearing in Taraweeh, at a lecture, or in any gathering, with no internet connection required.

How does Rawi identify ayahs, and is it accurate?

Rawi runs an on-device AI model trained on Quranic recitation. It transcribes what it hears and matches it against all 6,236 ayahs, then shows the surah, ayah number, translation, and tafsir. Every ayah in the Quran is recognised.

Does Rawi record or store my audio?

No. Rawi processes all audio entirely on your device and discards it immediately after identification. No audio is ever uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server.

Does Rawi collect my data or need an account?

No account, no tracking, no data collection. Rawi has no servers to send anything to. Your history stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud.

Does Rawi work offline?

Yes. Rawi works 100% offline. The complete Quran text, 11 translations, and the AI model are all bundled on your device. No internet connection is required.

What languages and translations does Rawi support?

Rawi's interface is available in 9 languages, with 11 on-device Quran translations: English, German, French, Turkish, Urdu, Indonesian, Russian, and more, plus 9 tafsir commentaries across four languages.

What is Muqri mode?

Muqri is a built-in hifz testing mode. You get 5 free sessions. It plays a random ayah from your memorized juz, then listens as you continue reciting by heart, tracking your accuracy and progress. Rawi Pro unlocks unlimited sessions.

Is Rawi free, and what does Rawi Pro include?

Rawi is free to download and identify ayahs, with English translation and Ibn Kathir tafsir included. Rawi Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, that unlocks all 11 translations, all 9 tafsirs, unlimited history, and unlimited Muqri sessions.

Why Rawi

I grew up able to read Quranic Arabic, but full understanding was always just out of reach, especially in Taraweeh, standing in prayer while ayahs I only half understood washed over me. I built the tool I wished I had.

I called it Rawi, Arabic for narrator: the one who carries each word faithfully from teacher to student, across generations. That felt like the right name for something that passes the ayah from a recitation into your hands.

Yusuf, maker of Rawi
