Good Tape vs Ermine.ai

Good Tape turns audio and video recordings into searchable text for journalists, researchers, lawyers, and other professionals who need transcripts they can trust. Upload files in the browser or record directly with the iOS and Android app, then get transcripts in 100+ languages with speaker labels, synced audio playback, and an editor for quick corrections.

The platform adds AI summaries, bulk uploads, subtitle exports (.srt and .vtt), team sharing, and an MCP connector so you can pull transcript content into external LLM tools. Projects keep large archives organized, and files stay encrypted in the EU under GDPR and ISO 27001 standards without being used to train models.

Good Tape was built in Copenhagen with input from working journalists and now serves about 3 million users, including newsrooms like Zetland. Free trial access includes one hour of transcription with full Pro features and no credit card required.
