Which Quran App Has Transliteration?
A straight answer on which apps and websites show transliteration, whether Quran.com has it and how to turn it on, and where to read word-by-word with audio.
The short answer
Several Quran apps and websites offer English transliteration — including Quran.com (as an optional setting you enable), Quran Majeed, Muslim Pro, and word-by-word readers. They differ mainly in how transliteration is shown: as a per-verse line you switch on, or as a first-class, word-by-word layer aligned with the Arabic and synchronized to audio. If transliteration is the main reason you are reading, pick a reader where it is a core feature rather than a hidden toggle.
Does Quran.com have transliteration?
Yes — Quran.com includes transliteration, but it is off by default and shown per verse only once you enable it. To turn it on:
- Open any surah on Quran.com.
- Open the reading settings (the gear/settings icon).
- Find the transliteration option — usually grouped with the translation or word-by-word settings — and toggle it on.
- Transliteration then appears beneath each verse as you read.
Menu labels change as the site is updated, but transliteration lives in the reading/settings panel rather than being shown automatically.
What to look for in a transliteration reader
- Word-by-word alignment — each Arabic word paired with its own Roman-script sound, not just a verse-length line. See how word-by-word transliteration works.
- Synchronized audio — the transliteration highlights word-by-word as a reciter reads, so you match sound to script.
- Accurate diacritics — marks like ā, ḥ, ʿ, ṣ that capture sounds English letters cannot. Check the transliteration key.
- No ads, no install — readable in any browser, with printable PDFs for offline use.

Frequently asked questions
Does Quran.com have transliteration?
Yes. Quran.com includes English transliteration as an optional display setting — it is turned off by default, so you have to enable it in the reading settings before it appears beneath the Arabic. Once enabled, it shows a Roman-script transliteration of each verse. If you do not see it, open the settings panel while reading a surah and look for a transliteration or 'translations & transliteration' option to switch on.
How do I get transliteration on Quran.com?
Open any surah on Quran.com, then open the reading settings (usually the gear or settings icon near the top of the page or verse). In the settings panel, find the transliteration option — often grouped with the translation or word-by-word settings — and toggle it on. Transliteration will then appear under each verse. Exact menu labels change as the site is updated, but it lives in the reading/settings panel rather than being shown by default.
Which Quran app has transliteration?
Several popular Quran apps and websites offer transliteration, including Quran.com (as an optional setting), Quran Majeed, Muslim Pro, and Al Quran (Tafsir & by Word). They differ in how transliteration is shown: some display it per verse, while purpose-built transliteration readers align it word-by-word with the Arabic and synchronize it with audio. If transliteration is your main need, choose a reader where it is a first-class feature rather than a setting you have to enable.
What is the best Quran website for reading with transliteration?
The best option depends on how you read. If you want transliteration as the primary layer — shown word-by-word beside the Arabic, with audio that highlights each word as it is recited, and no ads — a reader built specifically for transliteration will serve you better than a general Quran app where transliteration is an optional toggle. This site shows the Arabic, transliteration, and translation together on every surah page, free and ad-free.
Is there a free Quran app with transliteration and audio?
Yes. This site is a free, ad-free Quran reader that shows English transliteration and translation alongside the Arabic for all 114 surahs, with word-by-word audio that highlights each word during recitation. There is nothing to install — you can read it in any browser on phone or desktop, and there are printable transliteration PDFs for offline use.
