Touch the screen and speak — your words gently appear as paper. Okibumi is a new kind of memo app: instead of typing, you speak, and your voice becomes text you can place, resize, and color. - Touch anywhere to speak; your words appear right where you touched - Freely change each word's color, font, size, and angle - Choose from five paper textures — Yoi, Fumi, Chou, Ai, Koke — each suited to a different mood. Ai and Koke are paper-art illustrations of the sea and mountains - As words pile up, the align button switches between list and grid view in one tap - Everything you save becomes a page you can return to anytime, and can be organized into folders - Additional paper textures are available as one-time purchases — buy them individually, or get them all together at a discount (no subscription) Not writing it down — quietly placing it down. A new way to use paper, with your fingertip and your voice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Okibumi at none against SelfTalking's shown. Okibumi also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
