What playback speeds are available?

Five speeds: 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, and 2×. Useful for memorisation or review.

To change the speed:

  1. Start playing a surah or ayah.
  2. Tap the MiniPlayer at the bottom of the screen to open the full player.
  3. Tap the speed control and choose a speed.

Shortcuts: when the speed isn't 1×, the MiniPlayer shows a small speed badge. Tap it to step to the next speed. In the Mushaf layout, tap the speed in the player at the bottom of the page.

RecitID remembers the speed you chose, so it stays the same the next time you play something.

Other tools in the full player that help with memorisation:

  1. Repeat: repeat one ayah 2, 3, 5 or 10 times, or "Forever", or repeat a range of ayahs. Repeat works when you're playing ayah by ayah, for example after tapping play on a single verse, or using the play ("Listen") button in the reader with a reciter that has verse-by-verse audio.
  2. Sleep timer: stop playback after 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or at the "End of surah".

Good to know: these are the five speeds on both iPhone and Android. There is no 0.5× option.
