Below you’ll find the features that make Good Tape the transcription software of choice for millions of users including journalists, researchers, legal professionals, consultants, and creators worldwide.
Audio playback: Follow every word you hear
Every transcript is linked to its audio source, making it easy to reference the original recording. Simply click on a word in the text, and playback begins from that exact moment (with timecodes if needed).
Whether you’re double-checking a quote for an article or verifying an interview response, playback keeps you connected to the source without endless rewinds.
Speaker labels: Clarity in conversations
Every transcript is linked to its audio source, making it easy to reference the original recording. Simply click on a word in the text, and playback begins from that exact moment (with timecodes if needed).
Whether you’re double-checking a quote for an article or verifying an interview response, playback keeps you connected to the source without endless rewinds.
Bulk uploads: Save hours on large projects
Have dozens of recordings that need transcribing? Upload them all at once. Bulk uploads let you process multiple files in a single session, cutting down time spent managing files and freeing you to focus on analysis.
It’s an essential feature for researchers, media teams, and organizations working with high volumes of audio or video.
Export subtitles: Make content accessible
Turn your transcripts into subtitles in just a few clicks. Whether you’re producing podcasts, webinars, films, or lectures, exporting subtitles makes your content accessible to wider audiences and improves discoverability.
With Good Tape, you can generate .srt or .vtt files instantly, ready for upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or your own platform.
100+ Languages: Work without borders
Good Tape isn’t limited by geography. With support for more than 100 languages, you can transcribe recordings in virtually any language you encounter.
Covering an international press conference? Recording interviews abroad? Preparing multilingual research? Good Tape handles it seamlessly, ensuring accuracy no matter the language.
Collections: Organize your tapes with ease
Transcripts pile up quickly. That’s why Good Tape includes collections, an easy way to group your recordings and transcripts into folders. Keep projects organized by topic, client, or date, so you never waste time searching for the file you need.
Collections give you a clean workspace, especially when you’re managing dozens of ongoing projects.
Teams: sharing and collaboration
Sometimes you need to share a transcript with a colleague or client, but you don’t want multiple people editing the same file simultaneously.
Good Tape’s Team Sharing option makes it simple: share the file, give access, and let others review the content while you stay in control of the transcript.
Editing: Intuitive transcript editor
No more clunky tools or endless scrolling. Good Tape’s editor is designed to be intuitive, fast, and accurate. Clean up transcripts, correct minor errors, and highlight key passages effortlessly.
Whether you’re polishing an interview for publication or preparing notes for court, the editor helps you finish your work faster without distraction.
AI summaries: Insights and overview
Going through a full transcript can take as long as replaying the recording itself. It’s slow, exhausting, and rarely what you actually need.
That’s why we built AI summaries. With one click, Good Tape turns your transcript into a clean overview of key points, themes, and insights. So instead of spending hours reading, you can understand the story in minutes.
Recorder app: Coming Soon
With the Good Tape recorder app, you can capture high-quality audio directly from your phone. Designed for iOS and Android, the app lets you record interviews, lectures, or meetings and send them straight to Good Tape for transcription.
No third-party apps, no file transfers, just seamless recording and transcription in one place.

We are fully GDPR-compliant, and we only use EU based subprocessors. We are always clear and transparent about the handling of your data. We never train models on your files or data
