NUQT: Quran PronunciationLive on Google PlayNUQT: Quran pronunciation app, tap any word to hear it
Afraid of reading the Quran wrong? NUQT plays any word or sentence you tap in the reciter’s voice. Android app and a web version.
As a solo indie developer, I often think about how technology can bridge gaps in our personal journeys.
Many people struggle with Quranic Arabic pronunciation. Sadly, this often leads to hesitation, shyness, or the false belief that “not reading at all is safer than reading incorrectly.”
To remove this barrier, I built NUQT: Quran Pronunciation. It is a humble initiative designed for anyone who has the sincere intention to read but lacks confidence. Users can simply tap sentences or individual words to play instant audio guidance by Sheikh Khalil Al-Husary, allowing them to read along correctly.
Doing everything alone as an indie developer is challenging, and I welcome any feedback or collaboration on this journey. While an iOS app is delayed because I currently lack a Mac, I have deployed a web version to serve as a temporary workaround for iPhone users!
How to learn Quran pronunciation word by word
Learning Quran pronunciation requires hearing the correct sound of each word, understanding how sounds connect in full sentences, and repeating until comfortable.
1. Open the surah you want to read
Open any surah in the reader. The text is displayed in clear Uthmani script with adjustable sizing and optional translation layers.
2. Tap a single word
NUQT plays just that word in the reciter’s voice. Listen, then say it yourself.
3. Play the whole verse
Tap the round verse number. NUQT reads the whole verse and lights up each word as it is read, so you hear how the words join.
4. Go over the same verse until your reading sounds like the reciter’s
Repeat the word or sentence as many times as needed until your reading sounds like the reciter’s, then move on.
Honest limits: NUQT plays the reciter’s voice. It does not listen to your reading or mark it, so you compare by ear.
How the app helps: NUQT plays reference audio for any word or sentence you tap in Sheikh Khalil Al-Husary’s voice, with word audio for all 114 surahs.
