Scribbler
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scribbler transcribes video, audio and voice messages to text on iPhone and iPad, offline. Files never leave your device. No upload, no account, and once the language pack is installed it works in airplane mode. Start from what you already have on your phone: a lecture or a meeting you recorded, an interview, a podcast, a video from your camera roll, a WhatsApp voice message. Long files work too. A two-hour recording becomes a document you can read, search and fix. Free every day. Ten minutes of transcription a day, with every feature included. No trial, no account, no card. Pro removes the daily limit. A transcript you can work with. Tap any word to jump to the second it was said, and watch the text light up as the audio plays. Fix a wrong word in two taps. Search the whole document and move between matches. Read it in another language, still on device. Translate a finished transcript and read it in your language. Search, editing and export work on the translation too. Record live. The text appears while you speak, within about two seconds in Fast mode. Inside other apps. A voice message or a video you share is transcribed in a popup, without leaving the app it came from, and saved to your Library with one tap. Export where you need it. Plain text, Markdown, PDF, and SRT subtitles, with or without timestamps. Transcribes in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Translates into around twenty languages, so a recording made in one language becomes a document you can read in yours. Your transcripts sync across your devices through your own iCloud account. The media stays on the device that made it. Requires iOS 26 and a device that supports on-device speech recognition. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Damas at every 3 days against Scribbler's fortnightly. Damas also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
