Voice to Text Notes

Voice to Text turns your speech into editable notes. Record, and the app transcribes what you say as you talk, using Apple's on-device Speech Recognition in the language you choose. When you're done, edit the transcript, adjust font size, color, and font family (even for just part of the text), and play back the recording with word-by-word read-along highlighting. Pin important notes and tag them to find them again later. Everything is stored only on your device — no account, no cloud sync, no servers. Dark mode and adjustable text size are built in. Voice to Text is free and supported by a small non-personalized ad banner on the notes list. No ad tracking, no App Tracking Transparency prompt, no ad identifiers used. Features: - Live speech-to-text while you record, in your choice of language (Mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean, and more) - Edit, undo/redo, and restyle transcripts - Per-selection font size, color, and font family - Pin and tag notes to organize them - Playback with read-along highlighting - Export as plain text, Markdown, or subtitles (.srt) - Back up all your notes' text to a file at any time - Dark mode and adjustable app-wide text size - Everything stays on your device

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AI Note Taker at none against Voice to Text Notes's shown. Voice to Text Notes's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
