ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Listen & Talk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EESpeech Lite has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of EESpeech Lite's written reviews are positive against 80% of Listen & Talk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EESpeech Lite ships an update every 6 weeks, Listen & Talk every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
