Illustrative estimate only — not a guaranteed reward and not a verdict that the recitation was correct. Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2910, on sunnah.com, says a letter of the Book of Allah has a hasanah and a hasanah is tenfold; Alif, Lam and Mim are three letters. The grade line there is Hasan (Darussalam). In the same narration at-Tirmidhi calls it hasan sahih gharib. This multiplies letters the on-device aid accepted. Mistakes are not subtracted. Nothing here is a promise of what Allah records. needs scholar review
Counting convention: a letter is a base letter of the Uthmani word after removing vowel signs, shadda, sukun, tanwin and pause marks. Those signs are not extra letters. Ta marbuta is not folded into ha for this count. A word is counted once, when the on-device aid accepts the whole word. Uncertain words, errors, repeats and partial guesses are not added. Pause freezes the count. Resume does not count the same word again. Reset or a new session starts at zero. End shows this summary and stops adding.
Privacy: with the on-device engine, your voice never leaves this device — the model is downloaded from this site and runs in your browser. Nothing is recorded or stored.
This aid follows words. It is not a tajwid teacher and does not mark a letter inside a word unless the on-device model gives strong, stable evidence for that letter. A quiet mark means uncertain, not wrong. Learn tajwid with a qualified teacher.

And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He sends astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.

And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.

And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.

And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."

So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."

So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
