Automatic Speech Recognition for the Holy Qur'an, A Review

Computer science and speech recognition have enjoyed a long and successful relationship. Speech recognition has been a useful tool to detect and record voices. In computer science, a great challenge is to interpret the speech signals into purposeful and important data and to develop algorithms and applications to establish an interface between human voice signals and the computer. Significant interest has been raised in speech processing, especially of the Qur’an to provide a second opinion on diagnosis with less error and higher accuracy and reliability than the results normally achieved by human experts. This paper offers an overview of the use of this technology related to the Holy Qur’an.
