بصيرة: القران الكريم للمكفوفين

"Baseera" is a Quran teacher designed for the blind and visually impaired, operating entirely through voice. A blind person may lose their sight, but their insight remains. There are no menus to search or buttons to feel: simply say what you want, and it will answer.

Speak, and it will understand you.

• "Read Surah Al-Mulk": It recites it verse by verse in the voice of Sheikh Ali Al-Hudhaifi.

• "Memorize Surah Al-Ikhlas": It plays the verse for you several times, then you recite it, and it corrects your pronunciation and connects the verses to one another.

• "Recite Surah Al-Fatihah": It listens to your continuous recitation and alerts you to any mistakes or forgotten words.

• "From verse five to verse ten," "Next," "Repeat," "Stop," "Where am I," and "Remind me."

It works even with the screen off.

Turn off the screen and continue memorizing and reciting in your own voice. Two shakes silence the app, and two more shakes activate listening. A "Close App" message will appear when you're finished.

It corrects your recitation word by word. An engine on your device compares your recitation to the verse, identifying any words you miss or omitted. If you forget, it prompts you with the beginning of the verse in the Sheikh's own voice. There are three levels of correction: easy for beginners, moderate, and strict.

The Quran is always recited by a reader. Nothing in the Quran is ever recited by an automated voice: all verses are recited by Sheikh Ali Al-Hudhaifi, and the word he is reciting is highlighted on the screen for those with some remaining sight.

A teacher with a clear Arabic voice. The teacher's voice is recorded in standard Arabic with diacritics, without any mispronunciation or distortion.

Designed for the visually impaired. The entire screen is controlled by a single button: a touch anywhere pauses the recitation and activates listening. • Works with screen readers (VoiceOver and TalkBack), and its text is large and high-contrast for the visually impaired.

• Saves your position and what you've memorized. Just say "Continue memorizing" and continue.

• Opens with Siri on iPhone and with icon shortcuts on Android.
