# Voice to Text vs Transkriptor

The clearest difference is rating: Transkriptor at 4.7 against Voice to Text's 4.5. Transkriptor also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Voice to Text's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1.1K) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voice to Text sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Transkriptor sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Transkriptor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voice to Text has 11K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Voice to Text's written reviews are positive against 62% of Transkriptor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Voice to Text ships an update every 8 days, Transkriptor every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
