Audio Detection
Detection speed, daily limits, troubleshooting, and Auto-Detect.
How long does detection take?
RecitID runs two passes: a 10-second scan first, then an extended 18-second scan if the first one is inconclusive. Most recitations are identified within the first 10 seconds.
How many detections do I get?
Free: 7 surah detections per day. Monthly Pro and Annual Pro+: 50 per day. Limits reset at midnight UTC.
Detection says "No Match" — what should I do?
Move closer to the audio source, reduce background noise, raise the volume so it's clearly audible, and make sure actual Quran recitation is playing — RecitID matches Arabic Quran text, not general speech.
Which reciters can RecitID identify?
Surah and verse detection works on any reciter — it transcribes the Arabic and matches it against the Quran, so it doesn't need the voice to be in a catalog. Separately, RecitID also runs voice identification against a 200+ reciter library and returns the reciter's name alongside the match when the voice is recognised.
Why does it need microphone access?
RecitID uses the microphone to hear the recitation. Audio is processed in real time and immediately discarded. Recordings are never stored or uploaded.
What is the confidence score?
The confidence score is how certain the AI is about the match. Above 70% is highly reliable, 50–70% is likely correct, and below 50% is approximate.
What is Auto-Detect mode?
Auto-Detect keeps RecitID listening continuously and identifies verses as they change, instead of one clip per tap. It auto-pauses after about 1.5 minutes of silence to save battery. Tap the button again to stop.
How do I use Auto-Detect?
Open the Detect tab and long-press the main button for about a second. The button switches to Auto mode with an ear icon. RecitID keeps listening and shows results as new verses come through. A counter tracks how many verses have been identified in the session.
