MediaQuran

Books have not gone extinct because of the computer, but on the contrary, evolved into the digital world, being more accessible than ever. This includes everything, from fact to fiction, and religious writings. In this regard, specialized applications like MediaQuran come with the means to help study of religious books, in this case the Quaran.

You only get to spend a little while getting the application installed on your computer. However, for it to properly function you need to make sure that .NET Framework is also on the target system. On the other hand, there’s a high chance .NET is already there, because it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations.

On the visual side of things, the application is pretty well-organized, with several view types for comfortable reading. By default, two pages are simultaneously displayed, with options to keep just one, or configure what each one displays. Text can be cluttered together, or displayed on individual rows.

Language selection is also an option, with the possibility to have content shown in either English, Indonesian, or Uthmani script. Unfortunately, there’s no possibility to change style, or color for text, but the default configuration is comfortable enough, especially in fullscreen view mode.

Text style is not the only customization limitation, because content can’t be modified either. However, content can be selected, and copied to clipboard if you want to insert it in other documents.

There’s no option to have pages automatically scrolled through, but this is not necessarily an issue, considering content depth varies. Navigation is easy enough through default means, with options to jump one page at a time, or pick specific chapters with a drop-down menu.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that MediaQuran is a useful tool you can use to start, or continue reading the Quaran. The general design is simple, but intuitive, with a single, or dual page reading mode, and fullscreen view option for more comfort.
