Two Nordic companies, one shared belief
Both Klang and Good Tape were born from the same frustration. Manual transcription is slow, repetitive, and drains valuable time. Both companies saw the need for smarter, faster transcription tools.
Klang has earned a strong reputation in Sweden, especially within the legal sector. Their platform focuses on precision, compliance, and Swedish language expertise. They have carved out a niche that serves lawyers, courts, and public institutions who depend on transcription for official documentation. As a fellow Nordic company we have deep respect for their traction and their team.
Good Tape was created with a wider vision. While our team is based in Copenhagen, our mission reaches far beyond the Nordics. We serve millions of users around the world, across industries like journalism, academia, consulting, media, legal and government.
Both companies share Scandinavian values of trust, transparency, and design simplicity. The difference lies in who we build for. Klang focuses on legal professionals in Sweden. Good Tape focuses on journalist, news rooms and academia.
Klang’s strength in legal transcription
There is no question that Klang has built an impressive platform for the legal field. Their solution is optimized for Swedish legal language, court hearings, and public documentation. In that environment, accuracy and data handling are essential, and Klang does that well.
Legal transcription requires strict formatting, confidentiality, and compliance with national regulations. Klang’s team has specialized in this area, which makes them a trusted name among Swedish institutions. Their focus allows them to deliver deep expertise for one audience.
But that same specialization also limits scope. Klang’s interface, workflows, and language models are tailored primarily for Swedish users. For global professionals who work across languages or regions, that can be restrictive.
Good Tape’s strength in global transcription
Good Tape was designed for professionals who need transcription that adapts to any context, any industry, and any language.
Our tool supports over 100 languages and accents, giving users the freedom to work internationally. Whether it is a reporter in Brussels, a professor in Singapore, or a consultant in New York, Good Tape makes transcription fast, secure, and dependable.
We believe transcription is more than turning speech into text. It is about giving people back their time. That is why we built Good Tape to handle large workloads, different file formats, and high volumes of recordings with minimal friction.
Where Klang’s niche is Swedish legal transcription and insights, Good Tape’s reach is global and multidisciplinary.
Accuracy that scales
Both Klang and Good Tape understand that accuracy is everything. A single wrong word in a court document or a published article can have real consequences.
At Good Tape, accuracy is our top priority. Our AI model is constantly refined and tested across diverse audio conditions and languages. We handle multi-speaker interviews, background noise, and different dialects without breaking workflow.
Our transcription engine is trusted by journalists, courtrooms, researchers, and consultants who cannot afford to spend hours fixing mistakes. Because our transcripts are time-linked to audio, users can verify every word instantly. That means faster editing, less frustration, and better outcomes.
Klang’s accuracy is exceptional for Swedish legal recordings, as an added bonus they have also invested into growing their insights offering.
Security built on trust
When it comes to transcription, security is non-negotiable. Klang and Good Tape share a strong commitment to data protection, but our scopes differ.
Klang’s system is built for Sweden’s strict data standards, designed to meet local regulations and serve government and legal entities. That makes them a reliable choice for Swedish users working within national frameworks.
Good Tape’s infrastructure follows suit, but was designed to handle global compliance. All files are encrypted at rest and during upload, processed entirely within the European Union, and never shared with third parties. We never train AI models on user data. Files are deleted automatically unless the user chooses to keep them.
This approach gives Good Tape the flexibility to meet GDPR requirements while also serving users in multiple regions with consistent security guarantees.
User cases that highlight the difference
Legal professionals
Klang remains a top choice for law firms and courts in Sweden that need official documentation in Swedish. Their localized focus ensures correct terminology and formatting for that context.
Good Tape supports legal teams operating across borders who need to transcribe interviews, depositions, and international meetings. Our accuracy, speed, and multilingual support make global collaboration easier and safer. Our tool is currently being used in courtrooms in South America, and we’re seeing more legal professionals use our platform for court transcriptions as well as deposition transcription.

Journalists and media
Klang’s platform is primarily designed for legal transcription and does not cater to journalists or media professionals in the same way that Good Tape does. This is because Good Tape was born from journalism. We built our tool together with award winning journalists, reporters, editors, and podcasters at Zetland rely on us to capture quotes, transcribe interviews, and publish stories faster.
From breaking news in Paris to investigative interviews in Nairobi, Good Tape helps journalists and newsrooms to focus on storytelling instead of typing. Curious about Good Tape for your newsroom? Click here.
Academia and research
Researchers often conduct interviews in different languages. Klang’s system works well for Swedish material, but international research requires broader language coverage. Good Tape’s AI transcription engine handles more than 100 languages, making it an ideal companion for academics who work with global data sets. We have academics in 160 countries who trust us with their work. Interested in academic transcription click here.

Good Tape: The clear choice for most users
