Word-by-word Quran audio
Every reciter, aligned word by word.
In nakhtem, the exact word being recited lights up as you listen — for every reciter we carry. Precise, verse by verse, across the whole Quran.
What the reader hears and sees
The words keep pace with the voice.
Open any surah, choose any reciter, and follow along. Each word illuminates the instant it is recited and settles back as the voice moves on. No guesswork, no drifting highlight — the text and the recitation stay together, from the first word of al-Fatihah to the last word of an-Nas.
The difference
Word-level accuracy — for every reciter, not a favoured few.
Many apps highlight a whole verse, or a rough line. nakhtem highlights the single word — and it does so for every reciter it ships, across the entire Quran. To our knowledge, no other Quran experience offers word-level precision this complete for its whole library of reciters. That completeness is the point: whoever you love to listen to, the words move with them.
- Word-by-word highlighting for every reciter in the app.
- Precise across all 114 surahs — beginning to end.
- The same care given to every recitation, not just the popular ones.
