Ever forget which rak'ah you're on? Say no more! Using your device’s front facing camera, Salati utilizes state-of-the-art existing Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence technology to count the number of rakats you perform during your Islamic prayer, so you will never happen to pray more or less rakats than you actually need. For a lot of people, Salati also helps you focus in your salat, and with its prayer checklist, you may also bid farewell to your troubles of trying to remember whether or not you’ve prayed a certain mandatory prayer. Salati is powered by SalatNet, a Machine Learning (ML) model formed with hundreds of training images, resulting in a ML model with a whopping accuracy of around 90%. SalatNet is also quite premature, and in order for Salati to improve and become a more inclusive product, the option to submit training data and enhance SalatNet is open to all users, just submit photos of you praying and your fingerprints will be all over a boosted version of SalatNet! Salati is solo-developed by a Computer Science student, so whether it’s comments of appreciation, or constructive criticism of the app, your input would be more than welcome, so please send in some feedback!
