Re: Accessible Koran apps for iPad

2013-10-14 Thread Rami

Hey, Cara and Aman
another usable Comprehensive Quran app is Ayat, developed by King Saood 
university. It contains the origianl Arabic text as well as many 
explanations, in addition to several translations in both text and audio.

it is not %100 compatible with VO, yet it can be used.
here is the link:

Hi, Cara.
There are quite a few Quran apps on the app store, as you can imagine. The one 
I like is IQuran  (iQuran HD for the iPad) but I would not describe it as 
accessible with VO. It is usable but is a bit odd. However, if you are willing 
to put up with some oddness, or if you need enlargement rather than speech, it 
is a stunningly good app.
Let me raise three issues which the user might want to consider.
First, the iOS devices all speak Arabic. This means that almost all Quran web 
sites, and there are many such sites, are accessible. Basically, you don't need 
much of an app except for enrichment (translations/study 
notes/interpretations/audible reading/history). As it stands, the only 
reasonably inexpensive way to read Arabic is through an iDevice or a Mac, 
Windows products are either expensive, bad,  impractical, or have a pleasing 
combination of all those qualities.
Secondly, if the user has partial sight, the iPad screen and font enlargement, 
not to mention zooms, will be excellent and will work well for most apps. Many 
have their own enlargement and, if that isn't of use, Apple's software can be 
brought into play.
Thirdly, keep in mind that the Quran is only in Arabic. That is, though there 
are translations, they are not very valuable.  The best of them will give you 
some of the meaning of some of the text. The worst of them are a mess. I 
mention this because most people who will want to read the text will want to 
read it in Arabic and, as I said, the smoothest and cheapest way to do this 
electronically is through iOS.
I hope that is of some use, and would welcome additional apps to try.
Aman

The following app mentions VO in their description, but there have not been
a lot of reviews. I don't have the technical skills to assess it, and I know
next to nothing about the Quran to try it.

Re: Accessible Koran apps for iPad

2013-10-13 Thread Aman Singer
Hi, Gary and all.
This app is not the Quran. It's one schollar's interpretation of the text in 
the Urdu language. It may very well be of use, but it isn't the text and I may 
say that voiceover in this case may well mean simply an audible reading of the 
interpretation rather than the iOS screen reader we all know and.. have at 
least grown to tolerate and give friendly nods to :)

Re: Accessible Koran apps for iPad

2013-10-13 Thread Cris Ali
If you read arabic, there is an accessible app which I am using on my 
iPhone.  I am not sure if there is an iPad version of it or not.  It has the 
entire quran and three different classical interpretations by three 
different Muslim Scholars from the classical age.  You can check it out on 
this link:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tfasyr-alqran/id563909753?mt=8

if you want an English translation of the quran, the one I recommend is by 
Tarif Khalidi.  I saw it available in a Nook version and also in a kindle 
version.  It is not cheap, I think it was around fifteen bucks.  I think 
Khalidi's translation is the best one available.


Regards,

Cris Ali

Also you can get copies of DAISY versions of the book where you can navigate 
by chapter/verse here:


http://guidedogswa.org/books/scriptures/

These are English versions, too, like I may have said navigable down to the 
verse. There are DAISY audio and DAISY text formats available of several 
Scriptures. I think the Koran is at the bottom of the page. But at least 
it's there!

I do not know about apps.
There are several free and lower cost versions in iBooks.
Kindle has a free English translation and several others.
I suspect Nook will also. If they qualify for BookShare, they have several 
versions as well.

HTH,
