ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Transcribe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transcribe has 457 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Audio 2 Text's written reviews are positive against 47% of Transcribe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
