The voice pitch analysis works best with an external microphone! It will work without an external microphone but please be-aware that results may vary as the voice pitch analysis requires a relatively quiet environment and some phone microphones can pickup a lot of background noise. This tool is designed to act as a voice recorder/playback/analyser tool but with useful information such as voice pitch, tones, & volume with resonance and phonetics to be added at a later date. It is mostly intended for use as part of voice therapy, and users should be aiming to use the tool for about 5 minutes a day over several months. It does not provide lessons or guidance, it is intended to be used as a tool to assist with voice therapy and not as a replacement for voice therapy. =Privacy= No voice recordings are saved or leave the device. =Free= This app is available in two flavors; a free advert supported version, and a paid advert-free version. You can remove the adverts via an in-app purchase in the settings screen. =Bugs= Help us to improve this app, if it doesn't work, or you have any ideas to help us improve please drop us an email so that we can improve things in the next release!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TexCom Text Communicator at none against Voice Tools's 1. TexCom Text Communicator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Voice Tools's advantage is ratings volume (837 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
