Good Tape

What Good Tape is

Good Tape is an audio and video transcription tool aimed at professional users. It converts recordings into text and produces AI summaries, with the site naming journalism, research, law, government and classrooms as core scenarios, and stating EU operation, GDPR compliance and ISO 27001 certification.

Team editions and an API are also offered.

What you can do with it

• Transcribe an interview or meeting
• Get a summary to locate key points
• Build a searchable archive of recordings
• Work within an EU data posture

Who it is for

• Journalists and researchers
• Legal and government teams
• Educators and podcasters

What to watch out for

• Summaries do not replace the full transcript; citations and detail checks need the whole text and often the audio
• Accents, noise, overlapping speech and jargon still reduce accuracy
• Verify the compliance claims against your own obligations rather than assuming they cover your use case
• Confidential sources and personal data need care even with strong certifications
