Tools for the students and teachers of the hawza, and with their help a model that learns the hawza’s method: why a ruling is a ruling, with its references, every machine output labelled as one.
We do the technology; the hawza does the scholarship.

Transcription · an internal tool, for now
ScribeFlow
Our own transcription engine. It turns recorded lessons, lectures and talks into text, so what was said can be read, searched and checked. For now it works only for our own sites and tools.
Every transcript it makes says that a machine made it.
On the way
Three more projects are in progress. We will show them when they are ready.
