How it works

Nothing added, nothing lost. Three models work on every recording before it reaches this page.

1. Restored by SAWT

Our restoration model rebuilds the voice from worn tapes, radio hiss, low-bitrate uploads and loud rooms. It is trained to keep every letter as recited: a Quran speech model checks the text before and after, so nothing is added, dropped or changed.

2. Every word timed

A Quran recognition model aligns the recitation to the Uthmani text, ayah by ayah and word by word, so the word being recited lights up as you listen. Tap any word to jump to it.

3. Then and now

The original and the restoration play together, locked to the same moment. Flip between them mid-ayah with one switch, or press O, and nothing skips.
