Recognition of holy quran recitation rules using phoneme duration

Abstract

Many of the Holy Quran Recitation rules (which referred to Tajweed) depend on the phoneme duration, such as Medd, Ghunnah and some letters characters. This paper proposes a model to recognize the Medd rule and Ghunnah using the phoneme duration. The data has collected from 10 Holy Quran reciter to calculate the Medd and Ghunnah duration in the correct recitation. Then, the proposed model used to recognize the Medd and Ghunnah as Tajweed rules in Quran recitation. This model can support the existing traditional methods of Quran learning process by proposing a method that help the unskilled reciters to learn a part of Tajweed rules (Medd and Ghunnah). The reciters will be able to recite the Holy Quran by themselves and the system will correct them if there is any mistake in Al-Medd and Ghunnah rules.
