Turn speech, media, and video links into text you can edit, translate, and use. XBScribe brings live transcription, audio and video transcription, link extraction, system translation, and floating captions into one focused app. It is built for meetings, classes, interviews, video learning, and content creation—whenever listening again and typing everything by hand would slow you down. TRANSCRIBE FOR 100 YEARS No time limits. No usage limits. Turn live speech, audio, video, and linked content into useful text in one place. OFFLINE AFTER THE MODEL IS READY XBScribe uses Apple's on-device speech recognition. A system language model may need to be downloaded the first time you use a language. Once installed, live speech and local media can be transcribed offline, without uploading your audio. SPEAK AND SEE THE WORDS APPEAR Start the microphone and follow the transcript in real time, with controls to pause, resume, and save. Picture in Picture keeps live captions visible while you use another app—useful for meetings, lectures, classes, interviews, and quick ideas. EXTRACT TEXT FROM AUDIO AND VIDEO Import a recording, audio file, or video from Files or Photos. You can also send media, plain text, or text files to XBScribe through the system share sheet, including content shared from messaging and other apps. PASTE A LINK, GET EDITABLE COPY Paste a supported public link from TikTok, Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, and other supported platforms to extract spoken content as editable text—without manually saving the video first. Link resolution and media download require an internet connection; transcription runs on the device after download.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XBScribe at none against Mudawin's 2. Mudawin's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
