## Description

Surat is a Gurbani study companion for daily reading, memorisation and contemplation. Search Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Dasam Bani, Bhai Gurdas Vaaran and Bhai Nand Lal by voice, by rough spelling, by first letters or word by word, then go as deep as you like: word meanings, line commentary, teekas and the Mahan Kosh, all on your device.

VOICE SEARCH, TUNED FOR KIRTAN
Sing or recite a line, or hold your phone toward the kirtan, and Surat finds the shabad. A near/far switch tunes the microphone for your own voice or a hall. Recognition runs entirely on your device.

MEMORISE BY RECITING
Pick a bani, shabad or pangti and recite it out loud. The words light up as you say them, so you always know where you are and what comes next. See how much you recited today, what to practise next, and organise your list in folders. On-device speech recognition, still experimental, and it may mishear a word.

EVERY WORD, EXPLAINED
Long-press any word for its meaning from Prof. Sahib Singh, the line commentary of the Gurbani Arth Bhandar by Hari Singh Randhawe Wale in Punjabi and English, and the matching Mahan Kosh entry. Save words to your vocabulary and review them as flashcards.

TRANSLATIONS AND TEEKAS
• English: Bhai Manmohan Singh, Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa and others
• Punjabi: Prof. Sahib Singh, Faridkot Teeka and others
• English renderings of the Sahib Singh and Faridkot teekas, verse by verse (AI-rendered, clearly marked)
• Spanish translation
• Mahan Kosh dictionary, 61,000+ entries, now readable in English, with the stories behind the words
• Larivaar and padchhed, transliteration in English, IPA and Urdu
• Pause markers (vishraam) from several sources, styled the way you like

NITNEM STREAKS AND WIDGETS
Keep a daily Nitnem streak, with a freeze that covers a missed day. Home-screen widgets mark a bani done with one tap, show today's Hukamnama, or start voice search. Optional reminders per bani and an end-of-day check-in.

SEARCH HOW YOU THINK
• Type roughly, in Latin or Gurmukhi, and let the app work out what you meant
• First-letter search: type the first letter of each word
• Full-text search across every translation
• Filter by source, raag or author

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
• Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
• Dasam Bani
• Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaaran, Kabitt Savaiye, and Bhai Gurdas Singh Ji Vaaran
• Bhai Nand Lal Ji
• 130+ banis, including 28 from the Damdami Taksal Sundar Gutka, with a table of contents in each
• Read a bani in the version your tradition follows
• Rehat maryada and rehatnamas
• Amrit Keertan

DAILY PRACTICE
• Daily ang goals and a study home that picks up where you left off
• Build your own Pothi: collections of banis and shabads
• Open shabads in tabs, and keep bookmarks, notes and annotations

YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
• Works offline after a one-time setup
• Back up to your own Google Drive and sync between your devices
• Voice search and recitation recognition run entirely on your phone
• No ads, no behavioural tracking, no third-party data sharing
