Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Photo2Text at none against Video Sound Extractor's 1. Photo2Text also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). Video Sound Extractor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
