Your questions
Which reciters?
Mahmoud Khalil al-Husary, in his teaching recitation (al-Mushaf al-Muʿallim), Mishary Alafasy and Abu Bakr al-Shatri.
Can I slow the recitation down?
Yes. You listen at a slower speed, verse by verse, and each word in its verse.
Why al-Husary?
His recitation is calm and very clear: every letter and every rule can be heard. It serves as a reference for learning.
Can I listen without the app?
Yes: on this site, every surah can be heard verse by verse with al-Husary. The app adds the other reciters, the slower speed and the correction when you recite.
Is there a web or desktop version?
No. Tilawa is an app for iPhone, iPad and Android, because it listens to you through the microphone while you recite. On a computer, this site lets you read and listen to the Quran with colour-coded tajweed. To recite and get corrected, scan the QR code with your phone.
