Beloved recitations, restored

Twelve reciters, from Abdul Basit and El-Minshawi to Yasser Al-Dosari and Islam Sobhi, as their recitations circulate online: old masters, low-bitrate uploads and echoing halls. Each pair is the same 50 seconds before and after SAWT V6 Pro, restored once with the default settings and loudness-matched. Headphones recommended.

More: a complete mushaf and 200 reciters in the restored-recitations dataset, side-by-side comparisons on the listening page, and your own recording in the live demo.
