ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Transcriber holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transcriber has 86 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of ToText's written reviews are positive against 44% of Transcriber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
