Powerful overviews instantly
A transcript turns audio and video into text. But what happens when that text is thousands or tens of thousands of words long? Journalists, researchers, lawyers, and consultants face the same challenge: they need to find the meaning hidden inside hours of raw conversation quickly.
Reading through transcripts word by word can take as much time as listening to the original recording. It’s inefficient, stressful, and often unnecessary.
What you need isn’t every filler word or side remark, you need the essence and key takeaways. That’s why we built AI summaries. With a single click, you can transform a transcript into a structured overview.
How AI summaries work
The summaries are designed to be readable and useful. They’re not generic or vague, they highlight the real meaning of your transcription. Whether you need a bullet-point overview or a narrative summary, Good Tape provides a shortcut to understanding.
Using AI summaries is simple, just select the AI summary option at the top of your transcription. That’s it. Click below to find more useful features.
Save time and focus with fast transcription
Manual transcription can take up to 6–8 hours per audio hour. Without summaries, that’s followed by more hours of reading and note-taking. AI summaries collapse that cycle.
Faster decision-making, sharper storytelling, better collaboration and and less cognitive overload so you can focus on insights instead of getting lost in raw text.
Security you can rely on
Summaries only matter if you can trust how they are protected. At Good Tape, every transcript and AI summary is secured with AES 256 encryption, TLS 1.3 in transit, GDPR compliant EU servers, automatic deletion controls, and a strict no training policy.
You can safely use AI summaries for sensitive interviews, legal work, or research knowing your data stays yours.

Discover why millions of users rely on Good Tape
Transcription for journalists
Deadlines are short, recordings are long. With summaries, reporters can quickly scan an interview, press conference, or political debate to pull out the core themes before diving into details.
Transcription for academics
Researchers often juggle dozens of interviews and focus groups. AI summaries allow them to compare conversations quickly, spot recurring patterns, and prioritize what to analyze in depth.
Transcription for legal professionals
Lawyers rely on detail but often need context quickly. Summaries help them scan depositions or hearings to see what matters most before preparing cases.
Transcription for consultants
Client meetings, workshops, and brainstorming sessions generate hours of material. Summaries distill the main points so consultants can deliver recommendations faster.
“Summaries changed the way I handle interviews. Instead of rereading 20 pages, I can glance at a one-page overview and know where to focus.”
“As a researcher, comparing dozens of transcripts is overwhelming. AI summaries make it easy for me to see patterns before I dive into the details.”
“Client workshops used to take days to digest. Now I send the team a summary the same afternoon.”
