ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Youtube Transcripts holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Youtube Transcripts has 176 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Speech to Text's written reviews are positive against 44% of Youtube Transcripts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Speech to Text ships an update every 3 weeks, Youtube Transcripts every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
