A space for listening & reflection.

DeenScribe turns Islamic lectures into transcripts you can read and search, with a summary of each talk and the Qur'an verses it recites, in a library of your own.

See how it works Plans and free trial
  • Record a live lecture or import audio and video.
  • Qur'an verses from a verified text; hadith checked word for word against Sunni and Shia collections.
  • Transcripts you can search and correct, with a summary of every talk.

How it works

From a recording to a page you can study.

Add a lecture in a few taps. DeenScribe listens, writes it up and finds the verses, so you can spend your time on what was said.

  1. 1

    Bring in a lecture

    Record it live in the app, or choose an audio or video file from your device.

  2. 2

    DeenScribe listens

    It transcribes the talk in English, Arabic or Persian, sets it out in readable paragraphs, writes a summary and gives it a title.

  3. 3

    Read, listen and reflect

    Jump from a verse to where it was recited, highlight passages, and export what you need.

Features

Made for study, not just for storage.

  • Polished transcripts

    Clean paragraphs with the speaker's wording and language kept. Correct any paragraph yourself.

  • Summaries and titles

    An overview, key points, study notes and topics, plus a title you can rename.

  • Highlights and notes

    Mark passages as a key idea, reference, question or action, and add your own notes.

  • Audio that follows along

    The transcript keeps pace as you listen. Skip 15 seconds or play from 0.75× to 2× speed.

  • Export

    PDF in five layouts, a Word document, Markdown for Obsidian or Notion, and HTML for OneNote.

  • Chat with your lectures

    Ask a question in your own words. Answers come only from your lectures, each point linked to the moment it comes from.

English, Arabic and Persian

DeenScribe detects which of the three a lecture is in, and can write its notes in any of them: hear a talk in Persian, study it in English.

English العربية فارسی

Research dossier

A structured study of the lecture, from the lecture alone

Ask for a research dossier and the AI rebuilds the lecture's argument as a report you can study from: an abstract, keywords, an introduction, sections by theme, a conclusion and practical lessons. It is written only from what the speaker said, with no facts or sources from elsewhere, and the lecture's own verses and hadith sit where the speaker used them.

£2.99

You subscribe inside the app, and your plan is linked to your DeenScribe account. Prices are for the UK App Store and include VAT; in other countries Apple sets the local price, which the app shows before you buy.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Minutes are counted by the length of audio transcribed. Minutes and AI Chat questions reset each month, and unused ones don't roll over.

Qur'an

Every verse found, cited and timed.

When a lecturer recites a verse, DeenScribe recognises it, shows the Arabic from a verified Qur'an text and takes you to that part of the recording.

  • Sourced, never written by AI. The Arabic and the citation come from the Qur'an text built into DeenScribe. The AI only helps to find where a verse is.
  • Recited or discussed. Verses that are explained rather than recited are listed separately, at their approximate place in the talk.
  • Tap to listen. Each verse shows roughly when it came up. Tap the time to hear that part of the lecture.
  • Honest when unsure. A match that needs a second look is marked For review.

What do these labels mean?

Timestamps marked ~ are approximate audio chunk boundaries, not word timings.

1 verse detected. Arabic + citation come from the verified corpus; tap a timestamp to listen.

سُورَةُ الرَّعۡدِAr-Ra'd · 13:28

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ

فارسی · مکارم شیرازی

آنها کسانی هستند که ایمان آورده‌اند، و دلهایشان به یاد خدا مطمئن (و آرام) است؛ آگاه باشید، تنها با یاد خدا دلها آرامش می‌یابد!

~12:04 Tanzil

1 verse discussed but not recited, shown at its approximate (~) time.

سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِAl-Baqara · 2:152

فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

~24:10discussed Tanzil
An example of the Quran tab, with sample timings. Qur'an text: Tanzil Project, Uthmani edition (tanzil.net), unmodified. Persian translation: Naser Makarem Shirazi, as distributed by the Tanzil Project, unmodified.

Hadith

Hadith, checked word for word.

The AI finds the hadith and supplications quoted in a lecture. DeenScribe then checks them against its hadith library: the Arabic text of twelve Sunni and Shia collections, 78,089 narrations in all. Only a word-for-word match is shown as from the library, with the library's own Arabic, citation and tradition and, where the library has one, its grading.

  • In the lecture's own tradition. The books the lecturer names, and where the lecture's other hadith come from, tell DeenScribe which books count: the six Sunni books and Muwaṭṭaʾ Mālik, or the Shia Four Books and Nahj al-Balāgha. If a lecture doesn't make it clear, DeenScribe goes by the speaker's other lectures, and otherwise by its default, the Shia books.
  • Translations marked as AI. The library holds the Arabic only, so every hadith translation is an AI translation, and says so. Show Persian, English, both or neither.
  • You check the rest. An AI-sourced hadith carries a note on what the library found. Mark it as verified once you have checked it. Exports include AI-sourced hadith with their label, unless you leave them out.

What do these labels mean?

Your library

Find any lecture, and any word in it.

Lectures appear day by day, each with a short summary, its languages and how many verses and hadith it contains.

  • Series and speakers. Gather a course or a speaker's talks together, in the order you choose.
  • Search. Find a lecture by its title, then any word inside its transcript.
  • Right to left. Arabic and Persian titles and summaries read the way they should.

Export

Your notes, wherever you study.

Turn any lecture into a PDF to print or share, a Word document to edit, a note for Obsidian or Notion, or a page for OneNote. Exports are made on your device from what's already in the lecture, and nothing is sent to an AI service to make them. The one exception is the Research dossier, which the AI writes when you ask for one.

  • A second brain in Obsidian. Choose your vault once in Settings, then save any lecture straight into it as a Markdown note, with properties, tags and callouts. DeenScribe can add a short note for each surah and hadith collection, with its Arabic name. It never overwrites a note you already have.
  • Connected in the graph. Every verse DeenScribe matches in the Qur'an text becomes a link, and so does every hadith from the hadith library, along with the surah or collection, the speaker and the series. In Obsidian's graph view, lectures that quote the same verse or hadith meet there, even when one is in English and the other in Persian. Hadith marked AI-sourced are never linked, and topics stay tags.
  • Notion and OneNote. DeenScribe copies your export and opens Notion or OneNote, ready for you to paste.
  • Word, to edit. A plain Word document with the same sections as the other formats, ready to edit in Word, Pages or Google Docs. Persian and Arabic paragraphs run right to left in Word and Google Docs.
  • PDF in five layouts. Brief, Companion, Manuscript, Research dossier or Reference Atlas, on A4 or US Letter, with your own text sizes for English text, Persian text and Arabic scripture.
  • A research dossier, from the lecture alone. The AI rebuilds the lecture as a structured study report, with an abstract, themed sections and a conclusion, written only from what the speaker said. The lecture's verses and hadith sit where the speaker used them, each hadith with its label. Choose Standard, about 4–8 pages, or Extended, about 10–20. Dossiers come with the free trial and every plan, and the app shows how much of your allowance is left.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The short answers. The Support page has the rest, from plans and billing to recordings and exports.

All questions on the Support page

What does DeenScribe do?

Record a lecture in the app, or import an audio or video file. DeenScribe turns it into a transcript you can search and listen along to, a summary with key points and study notes, and a list of the Qur'an verses and hadith it quotes, each with roughly when it comes up. You can highlight, add notes and export it all.

Which languages does it understand?

English, Arabic and Persian. DeenScribe detects the language by itself, or you can choose it. The summary and notes can be in any of the three, whatever language the talk was in.

Can I trust the verses and hadith it finds?

Every verse is shown from the Tanzil Qur'an text built into DeenScribe: the AI only helps find where it comes up, and never writes the Arabic or the citation. Hadith are checked word for word against a library of twelve Sunni and Shia collections. Any other hadith is labelled AI-sourced. How the checks work

Which devices does it work on, and when can I get it?

iPhone, iPad and Mac, running iOS, iPadOS or macOS 26 or later. DeenScribe is getting ready for the App Store, and this website will link to it as soon as it is available.

Is there a free trial, and what does it cost?

New accounts that sign up with Apple or Google get 3 lectures or 180 minutes of audio, whichever comes first, and 20 AI Chat questions, to use within 30 days. After that, plans start at £5.99 a month for 300 minutes of audio and 100 AI Chat questions, at UK App Store prices, VAT included. See the plans

Is my data private?

Yes. Your lectures are private to your account: other users can't see them. They are kept on DeenScribe's server in London, and we handle your personal data under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), which gives you the right to see, correct or delete it. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising, and there is no tracking. OpenAI transcribes the audio and Google's Gemini works on the transcript text, never the audio, only to provide the service. Read the privacy policy

Can I record a lecture live?

Yes. Record in the app; on iPhone and iPad it keeps recording when the screen locks. The audio is saved on your device first, so a lost connection doesn't lose a lecture.

Can I export my notes?

Yes: a PDF in five layouts, a Word document, a Markdown note for Obsidian or Notion, or a page for OneNote. Exports are made on your device; only the Research dossier is written by AI, when you ask for one, and only from the lecture itself. More about exports

What is a Research dossier?

A structured study report on one lecture, which the AI writes when you ask for one: an abstract, keywords, an introduction, sections by theme, a conclusion and practical lessons. It is written only from what the speaker said, with no facts or sources from elsewhere, and the lecture's own verses and hadith sit where the speaker used them. Choose Standard, about 4–8 pages, or Extended, about 10–20. More about exports

Can I add a lecture from YouTube or another link?

Not yet. For now, import the recording as an audio or video file. YouTube's terms don't allow downloading its videos without permission, so for a lecture on YouTube: if the video is yours, download it from YouTube Studio; otherwise, ask the speaker or organiser for the recording.

Can I ask questions about my lectures?

Yes, with AI Chat. Open it from your library to ask about all your lectures, or from a lecture to ask about that one. Answers come only from your lectures, with each point linked to the moment it comes from, and if your lectures don't cover a question, it says so. It is study help, not religious rulings. The free trial includes 20 questions, and plans include 100, 250 or 600 a month. More about AI Chat
