Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) Systems for Learning Arabic Language and Al-Quran Recitation: A Review

This paper provides a literature survey about Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems for learning Arabic language and Al-Quran Recitation. The growth in communication technologies and AI (specially Machine learning and Deep learning) led researchers in ASR field to thinking of and developing ASR systems which mimic humans in their understand of natural speech and recognition. One of the most important applications in ASR is natural language processing (NLP). Arabic language is one of these languages. ASR systems which developed for Arabic language help Arabs and non-Arabs in learning Arabic language and so Al-Quran recitation and memorization in proper way according to recitation rules (Tajweed). This paper concentrate on ASR systems in general, challenges, PROS, CONS, Arabic language ASR systems and challenges faced them and finally Al-Quran recitation verification systems.
