Ikra: Quran Search

The app is designed for changing the searching experience of Holy Quran and making it better. Many times we know the verse or part of the verse but do not know in which chapter it resides or what is the translation of it. By Quran Search app now you can search different verse of the Quran either by reciting or by writing it in both Arabic and in Roman Arabic.
Roman Arabic allow user to write the verse by English letters that sounds like the verse. Like “Qul hu wallahu ahad” and “Kul hu allahu ehad”, both the sentence sounds the same regardless of their spelling and the structure of words, only thing that matter is that the verse should match the actual verse sound.
Roman arabic search is attained by using special phonetic algorithm search combined with other NLP techniques for better results. The other feature of this app is recognition by voice. In voice recognition if recognizer do not recognize correctly but the verse sounds like the actual verse, it will get the verse from the database.
For getting the actual pronunciation user can listen the audio from the database and images of verses are also available in the database. Moreover, translation in English and in Urdu is also available for better user experience.
