Abstract

Quran has been the focus of many computer science and computational linguistics researchers. However, little contribution was directed towards Quranic readings. This field focuses on the different ways in which Quranic words can be recited. Quranic Readings Gathering is a recitation process that is well-known by the specialists in this field. In this process, all the possible ways of reading a verse are covered in a compact well-structured manner. To the best of the author's knowledge, no computational automation was cited for this process in literature. In this paper, this process is algorithmically formulated and a developed software system is presented to automate this process. This system takes the Quranic verse text as input and generates a text file containing the detailed gathering of the readings of this verse as done by a specialized reciter. The system was applied to the verses of Surat-Al-Baqara and the output text was carefully validated against authentic books in this field. This system can be the basis for software systems for teaching and vocal construction of quranic readings gathering. This would be useful for students that are interested in Quranic Readings.
