What is the Smart Scanner?

Point your camera at any Arabic Islamic text (a Quran page, a hadith book, a du'a card, a poster) and RecitID identifies what it is and returns translation, tafsir, and context. You can also upload a photo from your library or paste Arabic text. Available on every plan: 3 scans a day free, 25 on Monthly Pro, 35 on Annual Pro.

What you get back depends on what you scanned:

1. Quran: the surah and ayah, with tafsir, the surrounding verses and a button to open the page in the reader.
2. Hadith: the collection and number, the narrator and the grading, checked against the major collections.
3. Du'a and dhikr: the Arabic, the transliteration and the translation, the source when it can be verified, and notes such as when to say it.
4. Other Islamic text, including Arabic textbooks and study pages: the recognised Arabic and a translation.

Each result tells you how sure RecitID is: "Verified source", "Possible match", "Could not verify source" or "Recognised text". Sections written by AI, such as notes and commentary, are labelled as AI so you can tell them apart from sourced text.

Ways to open it:

1. Tap the camera button on the right of the tab bar.
2. Or tap the "Scan" shortcut ("Books & docs") if it's one of your Home shortcuts.

Good to know:

1. The Scanner needs a free account and an internet connection. You can open the camera signed out; RecitID asks you to sign in when it processes the scan, then carries on.
2. Your scans are kept in Scan History on your phone. Open it from Home with "See all" › "All Scans", or with the "Scans" shortcut if you've added it to Home.
3. During a free trial you get the scan allowance of the plan you started it on: 25 a day on Monthly Pro, 35 on Annual Pro.
