Quick answer: In any reading or memorization screen, tap the 1.0× button at the bottom. Choose from 0.5× (half speed) up to 2.0× (double speed).
When to use slower speeds
- 0.5×–0.75×: Breaking down tajweed rules on a difficult ayah. Useful for catching madd durations and qalqala echoes you miss at normal speed.
- 0.75×: First memorization pass on a new page — you absorb tajweed more accurately.
When to use faster speeds
- 1.25×–1.5×: Revision of pages you already know well. Faster pace reveals weak spots more quickly.
- 2.0×: Overlearning — re-listening to a juz you’ve mastered to reinforce the “shape” of the text.
Tip: pitch preservation
HafizPrime preserves pitch when changing speed — the reciter’s voice doesn’t become chipmunky or distorted. This matters for your ear-training: you’re still hearing accurate phonemes, just at a different pace.
