Transcription you can actually trust
At Good Tape, we know transcription better than anyone else. For years, we lived through the painful reality of manual transcription: hours spent hunched over recordings in newsrooms, media centers, and editorial offices, rewinding the same ten seconds of tape until our patience wore thin. We wanted to focus on the real work: reporting, writing, analyzing and creating.
We launched Good Tape because we believed there had to be a better way to take the dull, time-consuming parts of audio to text transcription and turn them into something automatic, fast, and secure. What started as a basic transcription tool we built to save ourselves time, has now helped millions of users worldwide save tens of millions of hours. Join us and transform the way you work. Forever.
Useful features professionals need
Turning spoken information into reliable text that anyone can use, understand, and share is our primary focus. We’re serious about creating a tool with features that professionals can actually trust and rely on.
We don’t settle for “close enough,” because we know our users can’t.
Transform your workflow with audio
Every week, professionals across industries spend countless hours typing notes they’ll never read again. We believe this is wasted human potential. What could you do if transcription took seconds instead of hours?
Good Tape provides clarity through transcription and a handful of useful professional tools that users actually need.
Accurate transcription you can rely on
We focus on accuracy, and while we won’t claim to be perfect, we’ll always be transparent about how our tool performs and why.
No transcription tool can promise 100% accuracy, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that we strive to be the most accurate tool.
Security is our foundation
When you’re handling sensitive interviews, research, legal cases, or corporate strategy sessions, you can’t take any chances. Many tools overlook security. We don’t. Good Tape was built from the ground up with encryption and privacy in mind. It’s the foundation we built our company on. We treat your files with respect, and we never compromise on security. Every file you upload is encrypted, stored safely, and is fully GDPR compliant.
Recordings are never at risk because we know that for many of our users, a single leak would be devastating. That’s why we built Good Tape to be the most secure transcription tool that professionals can use when they can’t afford to compromise. We also never train on user data. Your files are yours and you are always in control.

Transcription for legal professionals
Legal professionals depend on accurate transcriptions. Depositions, court hearings, client interviews, and case preparation all depend on secure and accurate transcripts.
Transcription for consultants
Every hour spent transcribing client calls or workshops is an hour lost to analysis, strategy, and delivering value.
