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?
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 without the need for external LLMs.
How summaries work
AI summaries are designed to be readable and useful. They’re not generic or vague, they highlight the real meaning of your transcription and also include timecodes.
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.
Security first, always
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, ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. We are EU based, and we never train on user data.
With Good Tape you can safely use our AI summaries for sensitive interviews, or research knowing your data stays yours, and always within your control.
ISO 27001 certified transcription
At Good Tape security is the foundation of everything we do
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.
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.
