Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Voice to Text at 4.5 against Doc's 3.0. Voice to Text also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Doc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
