## What is Rawi?

Rawi identifies any Quranic verse from recitation — instantly, privately, entirely on your device.

Tap once and Rawi tells you exactly which verse is being recited: the Surah, the ayah number, the Arabic text, and a translation. All processing happens on your device. No internet required. No account needed.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap the Rawi button when you hear a Quran recitation
2. Rawi listens and transcribes in real-time using on-device AI
3. In seconds, you'll see the exact verse — Surah name, ayah number, full Arabic text, and translation

Rawi uses a fine-tuned Arabic speech model running entirely on your iPhone. It matches what it hears against all 6,236 verses of the Quran in real-time with remarkable accuracy.
