Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Haihaisoft Reader at none against Generic transcribe's shown. Haihaisoft Reader also leads on iOS requirement (6.1 vs 15.8.3). Generic transcribe's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
