Capture receipts to track your expenses the fast and easy way. Simply aim your camera at a receipt then tap the capture button. Our machine learning algorithm automagically converts the captured image into useful information. Can't remember the name of that place you ate at last month? We got you covered. With full-text search you simply type and we search across all receipt text. Search "latte" to see how much you've been spending at Starbucks. Export is just as easy. You can export all your receipts at once or export an individual receipt with receipt title, amount, image, and full-text. "Capture" is all about streamlining the expense tracking process. We believe in the design principle of treating all user input as error. Our goal is no user intervention beyond capturing receipt images, however, we do support the ability to edit receipt title and amount. When designing "Capture" one goal was to minimize friction and provide an experience that is totally secure. To that end, you do not need to sign up for an account. We do not collect or store any of your receipts or receipt data outside of your device. Eye Of The Tiger believes that your data belongs to you and only you. To enable continued development of "Capture" we offer a one-time in-app purchase. No subscriptions and no ads. Try the app for free then unlock unlimited receipt scanning if it benefits you.

SpeakUp turns your voice into text — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No subscription. No AI rewriting. Your words, exactly as you said them. Hold a button, speak, and your words appear in any app — Messages, Mail, Notes, Slack, or anywhere else you type. SpeakUp installs a custom keyboard with a dedicated mic button that works everywhere. HOW IT WORKS SpeakUp runs an open-source AI speech recognition model directly on Apple's Neural Engine via CoreML. Your voice is transcribed on your device in seconds. Nothing is sent to the internet. Nothing is stored. Nothing is shared. Tap the mic button on the SpeakUp keyboard, speak into the app, and your transcribed text appears right where you were typing. It's that simple. WHAT YOU GET - Custom keyboard with mic button — works in every app - 100% on-device transcription on the Neural Engine - 9 European languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian - Works completely offline — no internet required - Automatic punctuation and smart formatting - Free, no subscription, no account, no word limits WHY NOT APPLE DICTATION? Apple Dictation sends some audio to Apple's servers for processing. It only works in system apps. And for many languages and accents, it simply gets words wrong. SpeakUp runs a dedicated AI model on your device. It works in every app via a custom keyboard. And it actually understands accented English and European languages — because that's what it was built for. WHY NOT WISPR FLOW? Wispr Flow costs $15/month and sends every word you speak to their cloud servers. They also rewrite what you say with AI — you don't get your own words back. SpeakUp is free, runs 100% on your device, and transcribes your words faithfully. No paraphrasing. No cloud. No subscription. ALSO ON MAC SpeakUp for Mac (€29 one-time) gives you the same on-device dictation everywhere on macOS — system-wide hotkey, custom domain Lexicons (medical, software, legal), and longer recording sessions.

We care about European languages, European privacy standards, and building software that respects your data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SpeakUp Dictation at 100% against Capture's 29%. SpeakUp Dictation also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Capture's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
