ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Live Transcribe with Subtitly holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Live Transcribe with Subtitly has 37 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of AI Captioner's written reviews are positive against 25% of Live Transcribe with Subtitly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
