1. General Questions

What is Lawh?

Lawh is a mobile application that helps you identify Quranic verses by listening to audio recitations. Simply record or upload a recitation, and Lawh will identify the verse for you, displaying the Arabic text, transliteration, and English translation.

What does “Lawh” mean?

“Lawh” (لَوْح) is an Arabic word meaning “tablet” or “board.” It is also referenced in the Quran as “Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz” (اللوح المحفوظ) - the Preserved Tablet, where all divine decrees are written. The name reflects our mission to help preserve and identify the divine words of the Quran.

Who is Lawh for?

Lawh is designed for:

• Students of the Quran who want to identify verses they hear
• Memorizers (Huffaz) looking for a quick reference tool
• Teachers and scholars who need to verify verse references
• Anyone interested in learning and exploring the Quran

Is Lawh available in my country?

Lawh is available worldwide through the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). Some features may vary by region.

What languages does Lawh support?

• Audio Recognition: Arabic (Quranic recitation)
• Text Display: Arabic (Uthmani script), transliteration, and English translation
• App Interface: Currently available in English and Arabic

Is Lawh free to use?

• 3 searches per month
• Full access to the Quran reader
• Ads supported

For unlimited searches and an ad-free experience, you can upgrade to Premium.

2. How It Works

How does verse identification work?

1. Record or upload an audio clip of Quranic recitation
2. Our AI-powered voice recognition technology transcribes the Arabic audio
3. Our matching algorithm searches through all 6,236 verses of the Quran
4. Results are displayed showing the matching verse(s) with Arabic text, transliteration, and translation

How accurate is the verse identification?

Our system achieves high accuracy for clear recordings. Accuracy depends on:

• Audio quality: Clearer recordings yield better results
• Background noise: Minimal background noise improves accuracy
• Recitation style: Standard Tajweed recitation works best
• Recording length: Longer recordings (5-10 seconds) provide more context

We continuously improve our algorithms based on user feedback.

What if the app doesn’t find a match?

If no match is found, it could be due to:

• Poor audio quality
• Excessive background noise
• Very short recording
• Non-Quranic audio content

Try recording again in a quieter environment with clearer audio. You can also use the “No Match” feedback option to help us improve.

Can I use Lawh offline?

• Quran Reader: Works offline (content is stored locally)
• Verse Identification: Requires an internet connection for audio processing

What recitation styles does Lawh support?

Lawh supports all standard Quranic recitation styles. The AI is trained on diverse recitation samples and can recognize:

• Different qira’at (recitation methods)
• Various reciters’ voices
• Different speeds of recitation

How long should my recording be?

For best results:

• Minimum: 3-5 seconds
• Recommended: 5-10 seconds
• Maximum: 30 seconds

Longer recordings provide more context and typically yield more accurate results.

Copyright: Quran text © Tanzil.net (Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License)

Can I rely on Lawh for religious study?

Lawh is a technological tool to assist in Quranic study. We recommend:

• Verifying important matters with qualified scholars
• Using Lawh as a supplement to, not replacement for, traditional learning
• Cross-referencing with authentic printed Quran copies
• Seeking formal Tajweed instruction for proper recitation

What if the app identifies the wrong verse?

Our matching algorithm strives for accuracy but isn’t perfect. If you notice an incorrect match:

1. Tap the thumbs down button
2. Optionally provide the correct verse reference
3. Your feedback helps us improve

Does Lawh replace the need to memorize the Quran?

No. Lawh is a tool to support your Quranic journey, not replace traditional memorization (Hifz). We encourage:

• Using Lawh to verify and review what you’re learning
• Continuing traditional memorization with qualified teachers
• Using the app as a supplementary resource

Is it appropriate to use technology for Quran study?

Absolutely. Technology can be a powerful tool for Islamic education when used respectfully. The Quran encourages seeking knowledge through all beneficial means. Lawh is designed to make the Quran more accessible while maintaining the highest respect for the sacred text.

Are the translations accurate?

We provide translations for reference purposes. Translations are interpretations and cannot fully capture the Arabic original. For scholarly or religious rulings, always refer to the Arabic text and consult qualified scholars.

7. Account and Access

Do I need to create an account?

No. Lawh uses device-based identification instead of traditional accounts. You don’t need to provide a name, email, or password to use the app.

What happens if I switch devices?

Since Lawh uses device-based identification:

• Your search history is stored on your device
• Subscription status is managed by Apple/Google and transfers with your App Store or Google Play account
• Some preferences may need to be reconfigured on a new device

Can I use Lawh on multiple devices?

Yes, you can install Lawh on multiple devices. However:

• Each device has its own search history
• Premium subscription transfers if you’re logged into the same Apple ID or Google account

I forgot my subscription status. How can I check?

1. Open the Lawh app
2. Go to Settings
3. View your subscription status

Or check through your device’s subscription management:
