I downloaded Just Press Record the other day for $4.95. It is a pretty good recorder that will also transcribe recordings. It uses the Apple server, so is good as dictating. I don't know how it would do if you tried to transcribe a recorded conversation
I love the transcription feature. I most often use Dropvox to quickly get a phone number, etc. But, getting that into Contacts involves remembering what you hear while switching from app to app. With this, I can just cut/paste the information. I have not had a chance to put it to practical use yet, so have not tested this plan.

Note it is "Dropvox" with a "v" as in Victor not "Dropbox" as in the file storage service. Of course the name is derived from Dropbox since the Dropvox recording app uploads recordings automatically to a folder you can specify in your Dropbox account. I assume it does use local temporary storage since the upload happens when you are back on WiFi but I think there is an option to enable uploading via cellular data. There really are only two buttons in Dropvox, the Record button which is above the home key and all across the bottom part of the phone and a Settings button at the top right just underneath the battery percentage in the status bar. However, if you touch the Record button you have to swipe right to get to settings, a bit counter-intuitive since if you could see the buttons you would expect that you have to swipe to the left. You can record in MP3 format and you can also set up Dropbox to start recording immediately when you launch the app so you don't even have to double tap the record button. Dropvox is, however, not free, it is $2.79 here in Canada so I assume it would be $1.99 in the States. It also hasn't been updated since October 2014. I am often a bit concerned when apps don't get updated, but this one is just a really simple recorder which for me does the trick and it seems to work perfectly fine with iOS 9 and also 10.
