Towards the Identification of Quran Reciters

It is hard sometime to know the name of the reciter of the Holy Quran "Qarie" and the "Soura/Aya" while listening to Quran recitation. In this paper, we present the technical details of "Sout Albayan" which is an iPhone mobile application that uses audio fingerprinting to identify the details of the reciter, the Aya and the Soura that is being recited. The system allows the user to record a few seconds from the recitation, then it identifies the reciter, the Aya and the Soura being recited. It also has the ability to view and play the identified Aya.
