Audio Detection
Detection speed, troubleshooting, and Auto-Detect.
How long does detection take?
RecitID usually identifies a recitation in under 18 seconds, often within the first 10. It listens for up to 15 seconds, extending only as long as it needs, then matches what it heard against all 6,236 verses. Clearer audio resolves faster.
How many detections do I get?
The free plan includes 5 recitation detections a day, and 5 reciter identifications alongside them. The counter resets at midnight UTC. Monthly Pro and Annual Pro+ run both without any daily cap.
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 250+ 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. The clip is sent to our servers to be matched against the Quran, then deleted as soon as the match completes — we keep no copy of it. The processing providers we route through may hold request content briefly for security and abuse monitoring. Your audio is never used for advertising and never sold. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
What does the confidence label mean?
RecitID tells you how sure it is in plain language rather than a percentage. High confidence means the match is strong and you can rely on it. Likely match means it is probably right but the audio was not perfect. Possible match is a best guess worth checking. When nothing clears the bar, RecitID says so instead of naming a reciter it is not sure about.
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.
