Abstract Views: 0

Arabic is the language in which the Holy Quran was revealed to Mohammed (S.A.W). Muslims claim that the Holy Quran has not been tampered with since it has been preserved. The Arabic Quran should be read exactly as it has been written. With the flourishment of Islam and the appearance of faults in Quran’s recitation, the experts created Tajweed to preserve Allah's revelation. The Holy Quran's authenticity and purity must be protected from erasure or contamination. The current study examined speech recognition techniques used in the Quran’s recitation along with their strengths and faults. Moreover, it also examined the Quranic text verification paradigm. The development of a computer-aided system, to automatically learn the Holy Quran's recitation, is a practical learning technique. Computer-aided Programming Language (CAPL) has gained popularity in recent years. Moreover, numerous researches have been conducted so far to improve these methods, especially in second-language instruction. Computer technologies can help language teachers with pronunciation and accent reduction. The computers play an essential role in automated tutoring. With the help of computer, words can be learned at home. CAPL's strict application is to automate the Holy Quran’s recitation unlike a language-learning exercise, where many pronunciations may be appropriate. There is minimal opportunity for variation while reciting the Holy Quran in Arabic language. The current study presented a concept for Quran’s recitation verification system along with an overview of Quran’s voice recognition techniques.
