Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iTranscribe at 4.6 against Doc's 3.0. iTranscribe also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 5). Doc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
