Verdict

The call

Deaf Transcribe and Deaf Transcriber both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Deaf Transcriber's written reviews are positive against 22% of Deaf Transcribe's. Deaf Transcriber also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Deaf Transcribe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (492 vs 12). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deaf Transcribe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Deaf Transcriber sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Deaf Transcribe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deaf Transcribe has 492 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Deaf Transcribe's written reviews are positive against 67% of Deaf Transcriber's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Deaf Transcribe ships an update every 2 months, Deaf Transcriber every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
