Before you

Maqam compares your acoustic patterns with a selected Qari reference. Results show Melody Shape, Pacing, Pauses & Holds, and Ending Control. Stability contributes to the overall score. This is recitation practice feedback.
Choose a passage, a Qari, and your repetitions. Listen to the reference, echo it with the words visible, then recall it from memory. Prove is an optional fourth step using the existing Qari-comparison score. The word trail helps with reading and recall; it does not grade tajweed or certify memorization.
Flow lets you read, hide, and recite one Mushaf page at a time, with bookmarks, ayah coverage, and revision. Hifz Coach guides you through Listen, Echo, Recall, and optional Prove. Flow has no daily limit. Free Hifz Coach includes one new session per day with two repetitions per step; Pro offers more sessions and counts from 1 to 50.
No. Maqam compares sound against your selected reference. Word tracking is a reading and recall aid, not a judgment of pronunciation rules, validity, or religious certification. Study tajweed with a qualified teacher.
Choose from 12 Qaris: Maher Al-Muaiqly, Yasser Al-Dosari, Mishary Rashid al-Afasy, Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Abu Bakr al-Shatri, Ahmad Al-Nufais, Khalifah Al-Tunaiji, Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary, Muhammad Siddiq Al-Minshawi, Saud Al-Shuraym, Saad Al-Ghamdi.

Scoring takes are processed and deleted from analysis systems by default. Saved takes and Then vs Now audio stay on your device. Scores and progress can sync after sign-in. Optional product-improvement audio storage needs separate consent. Turning that off stops future archive uploads but does not itself erase stored copies. See the Privacy Policy for retention and deletion requests.
Downloaded Mushaf content and recordings saved on your device can be used offline. Initial downloads, Qari scoring, and automatic word-by-word checking need internet. Hifz Coach can offer manual confirmation when matching cannot start. Downloaded content does not make every practice feature available offline.
