ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ODMS Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ODMS Cloud has 117 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Philips SpeechLive's written reviews are positive against 0% of ODMS Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Philips SpeechLive ships an update every 5 weeks, ODMS Cloud every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
