Automated recitation plays an important role in improving self-learning. It is based on Speech/Text recognition. The research in Arabic speech recognition is very limited. The few existing applications are only based on the Holy Qur'an. This article proposed a new system (Samee'a - ) to facilitate memorizing any kind of text such that poems, speeches and the Holy Qur'an. Samee'a system is based on Google Cloud Speech Recognition API to convert the Arabic speech to text and Jaro Winkler Distance

The system has been tested using 70 collected files ranging between 12 to 400 words and some chapters from the Holy Qur'an. The average similarity achieved 83.33% for the 70 files and 69% for the selected chapters of the Holy Qur'an. These results were enhanced to 91.33 % and 95.66% after applying preprocessing operations on the text files and the Holly Qur'an respectively. To validate the obtained results, two comparison studies were performed. The Jaro Winker distance was successfully compared to the cosine and the Euclidean distance. In addition, the proposed system outperformed the related work with an improvement of the similarity reaching 5% when using section 30 of the Holy Qur'an. Finally, the user experience testing was carried out by 10 users of different ages (between 5 and 50-year-old) using small texts and some small chapters of the Holy Qur'an. The proposed system proved its efficiency.
