Good Tape for governments
Summary
- Transcripts enable subtitles, compliance documents, reports, and approvals.
- Case study: Mogens Nørgaard from the Danish national traffic administration explains how Good Tape saves time and captures knowledge.
- Trusted, accurate, and secure, transcription you can actually trust.
Optimize government processes
Government organizations run on meetings, reports, and technical discussions. Whether it is a local municipality, a regulatory body, or a national administration, the work produces massive amounts of spoken information that must be recorded, shared, and acted upon. A single 1-hour meeting can take 6–8 hours to transcribe manually.
Technical discussions are often so detailed that staff spend days scrolling back and forth to capture everything. Valuable knowledge often stays “in people’s heads,” never written down in usable form.
This is more than inconvenient. Slow transcription and missing documentation can lead to delays, compliance risks, and lost knowledge.
Time saved in reporting
Whether it is regulatory meetings in Brussels or technical project updates, transcripts save days of manual typing and turn reporting into a matter of minutes.

Case study: Meet Mogens
The challenge
Mogens Nørgaard works in the IT division of the Danish National Traffic Administration. His role started with traditional IT support and equipment delivery, but when he discovered Good Tape and ChatGPT about a year and a half ago, everything changed.
Across the administration, transcription had been a recurring pain point:
- Meetings were difficult to capture accurately.
- Subtitles for internal communication videos took hours to produce.
- Procedures and instructions were slow to create, because employees with knowledge often preferred talking over writing.
- Technical reports from EU regulatory meetings could take several days to type up.
Staff were spending countless hours transcribing manually or, worse, leaving valuable knowledge undocumented.
It’s worth its weight in gold. Good Tape saves us many hours every month.
The turning point
Mogens introduced Good Tape. Skepticism turned into enthusiasm once people saw how easy it was:
- Record audio or video on a phone or laptop.
- Upload the file to Good Tape.
- Press transcribe.
- Get usable text in minutes.
Instead of being a specialized tool for one department, Good Tape spread organically. Different teams discovered their own ways to use it:
- Meetings: staff recorded and transcribed meetings to create quick notes.
- Subtitles: the communications department reduced video subtitle work from hours to minutes.
- Procedures: Mogens recorded experts explaining IT workflows, transcribed them, and turned them into ISO procedures.
- Knowledge capture: tacit knowledge from finance and operations was finally documented by recording and transcribing explanations.
- Leadership dilemmas: managers recorded their thoughts after meetings, then used ChatGPT to generate options based on the transcripts.
- Regulatory reports: the Railway Report unit used Good Tape to transcribe technical EU meetings, reducing work from days to minutes.
We capture knowledge from people who do not want to write or cannot write.
The results
The impact across the traffic administration was profound and perhaps most importantly, transcription became a creative enabler rather than a burden.
- Hours saved every month: Mogens describes widespread adoption, with time savings spread across the organization.
- Faster video production: one communications officer reduced transcription time from hours to minutes.
- Knowledge retention: tacit knowledge from staff who do not like to write is now recorded, transcribed, and repurposed into usable documentation.
- Regulatory efficiency: EU railway compliance meetings that used to take several days to document are now processed in minutes.
Good Tape yields really amazing results.
The human impact
For Mogens, Good Tape unlocked a new way of working. Instead of begging employees to write things down, he simply asks them to talk.
Suddenly, complex procedures, project descriptions, or user stories are written without staff ever having to type them out. The result is better documentation, more engaged staff, and a culture where knowledge is easier to share.
Mogens even describes combining Good Tape with ChatGPT to generate ISO procedures, user stories, and training materials from transcripts, work that would normally take days but now takes minutes.
What would take days, now take us a few minutes.
