Good Tape

Good Tape is an automated transcription tool for audio and video built specifically with journalists and other professionals handling sensitive recordings in mind. It supports transcription in over 100 languages, with AI-generated summaries and automatic speaker labeling layered on top of the raw transcript, and includes a dedicated recorder app for iOS and Android with real-time audio monitoring, auto-save, and instant sync to the desktop account. A Good Tape MCP integration lets the transcript be pulled directly into other tools instead of being copy-pasted manually, and Projects keep related recordings organized. On privacy, Good Tape states it does not train AI models on customer recordings, stores all files in the EU, and holds GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001-certified security — positioning it as a compliance-conscious alternative to general-purpose transcription tools. The company cites Zetland, an online newsroom, saving 20,000 hours a year using Good Tape, and reports about 3 million users overall.
