Auto-Detect
Keep listening until it finds the verse.
Auto-Detect keeps listening in short clips, instead of a single tap, until it recognises the verse. It helps when you don't know when the recitation will start, or when you want to put the phone down. The match is saved to your history with the surah, verse and reciter.
How it works
01
Turn it on
Long-press the Detect button for about a second. The status changes to Auto-Detecting.
02
Leave it running
It listens in clips of about 5 seconds, stretched to 10 while recitation comes through. Each clip is discarded after matching, and you can switch apps or lock the screen.
03
Get the match
When a verse is recognised, the result opens, or a notification arrives if you are in another app. The match is saved to your history and Auto-Detect stops. Long-press again to catch a later verse.
When it helps
- Waiting for a recitation to begin, for example before a lecture or a live broadcast, without timing your tap.
- Taraweeh and Qiyam nights: start it when the imam begins, and start it again for a later passage.
- Driving with Quran on the car speakers. Start it before you set off and check the match in your history later.
- Rooms where the sound is faint. If it can't hear clearly it asks you to move closer or turn up the sound.
- If it hears no usable recitation for about 30 seconds, for example silence or very faint sound, Auto-Detect pauses itself instead of listening on.
- On the free plan, each clip sent for matching counts towards your 5 daily detections.
FAQ
How is Auto-Detect different from a manual tap?
A manual detection listens once, for up to 15 seconds. Auto-Detect keeps listening in short clips until it recognises a verse, so you don't have to time your tap to when the recitation starts.
Does it drain the battery?
It uses the microphone and the network while it runs, so it isn't meant to run all day. It stops as soon as it finds a match, and after about 30 seconds without usable recitation it pauses itself with "No recitation heard".
Does it record or store audio?
No. Each clip is sent for matching and then discarded. Only the result (surah, verse, reciter and time) is saved to your history.
Does it work in the background?
Yes. It keeps listening when you switch to another app or lock the screen, and sends a notification when it finds a match. On Android a notification stays on screen while it listens.
What does each match count as?
Each clip Auto-Detect sends for matching counts as one detection, except clips where no recitation was heard. The free plan allows 5 detections a day, so one session can use several; Monthly Pro and Annual Pro have no daily cap.
