Why mosques use it
Many people in the hall don’t understand the khutbah. They don’t have to miss it.
- 01
Everyone gets the reminder
Reverts, young people who grew up with another language, new arrivals and visitors follow every sentence, not only the parts they already know.
- 02
Quran verses with their approved translation
When the imam quotes a verse, the app recognises it and shows an approved translation of exactly that part, with the surah and verse number.
- 03
No booth, no headsets, no interpreter
A phone near the minbar and a clip-on mic are enough. Add or remove a language in one tap, from one Friday to the next.
Accessibility
The same words, for people who cannot hear
Turn on captions and deaf or hard-of-hearing worshippers read every word in the imam’s own language, on their phone or on the TV.
How a Friday works
From the adhan to the last du‘a
- Before the khutbah
Clip the mic on the imam’s collar, place the phone near the minbar and press Go live.
- As people arrive
They scan the QR code at the entrance or on the TV and pick their language. No app, no account.
- During the khutbah
Each sentence appears translated a moment after the imam says it. Quran verses show their approved translation.
- After the prayer
Press Stop. If you want, the khutbah stays on your public page for people who missed it.

Questions
What people ask us
Can the khutbah be translated live?
Yes. The app listens to the imam through a phone near the minbar and translates each sentence as soon as he finishes it. People read it on their own phone a moment later.
Into which languages?
More than 100, including English, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, French, Somali, Bosnian, Albanian, Indonesian and Bengali. You choose them each time you go live.
Does the imam have to speak differently?
No. He speaks normally, in any language, and can switch between Arabic and another language. He doesn’t pause for a translator.
What equipment do we need?
A phone with internet near the minbar, and a wireless clip-on mic for the imam. A TV in the hall is optional.
How accurate is the translation?
It is very good when the speech is clear. Quran verses are not machine-translated: the app shows an approved translation, from QuranEnc.com or Quran.com, with the surah and verse number.
How much does it cost?
$0.20 a minute of speech for one language, so about $4 for a 20-minute khutbah. Silence is free, and you don’t need a subscription.
