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.
