Make timing as easy as it’s ever been with SpeakTimer: the timer that speaks. SpeakTimer is a handy app that can be used as a personal assistant to keep you on track with a plethora of day-to-day activities in life, such as cooking, revision, workouts or taking a nap. It fulfils this through its ability to deliver speech at any points you choose, its high level of customisability to suit your specific needs, and the ability to see multiple timers at once. Voice alerts are fully customisable: the speech to be spoken is completely up to you, and so is the time at which it happens - the app is optimised to make the process of adding these very simple. You can choose to add single voice alerts here and there, or to repeat speech at regular intervals as the timer counts down. You do not have to add speech if you do not want to. After downloading the app, you will be able to enjoy the many features SpeakTimer has to offer (note that some will require a SpeakTimer PRO subscription): - Hear speech as timers count down and when they end - Hear voice alerts when the app is in the background - Works with iOS multitasking - Sleek, clean design - Extremely simple to use - Two types of timer: Quick Timer (to quickly set a timer up) and Custom Timer (to customise what the timer says and when) - Speaking stopwatches - Store and run timers simultaneously - View active timers in isolation - Reorder, delete and reset timers easily - Edit timers - ‘Jump To’ feature (allows you to jump to any point in the timer) - Change the navigation bar colour - Times to the second - Tailor timers, the interface and the app to your preferences easily Privacy Policy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/72988728 Terms and Conditions: https://www.iubenda.com/terms-and-conditions/72988728

This app allows you to start/stop the stopwatch without using your hands. It is useful especially, you are using both hands and can't start/stop. This app is depending on Apple's speech recognition API and not suitable for .1 sec accuracy. However, you can get rough idea of time length. It will have a delay at start and end as well, so it will cancel out and will not be far apart. User can use commands as start, go, stop, end, finish. Use case example: Hand stand, cooking, maker stuff, etc...

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VoiceControlled_Stopwatch at none against SpeakTimer's 8. VoiceControlled_Stopwatch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 54%). SpeakTimer's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (218 vs 4). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpeakTimer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. VoiceControlled_Stopwatch asks for nothing beyond the download.
SpeakTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpeakTimer has 218 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of SpeakTimer's written reviews are positive against 67% of VoiceControlled_Stopwatch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
