Maximize Your Reach: Unleashing the Potential of Promote Your Tool
Good Tape was created by Zetland, a Danish digital newspaper, who wanted to save time and effort for their journalists who had to transcribe interviews manually or use expensive and unreliable transcription services. They built Good Tape on top of OpenAI's AI model called Whisper, which can handle different languages and accents with ease.
Good Tape is very easy to use. All you need to do is upload your audio file to their website, enter your email address and consent to their terms of use. Then you wait for a few minutes (or longer if their servers are busy) and receive three files in your inbox: a plain text file without time codes, a text file with time codes and an SRT file for subtitles.
Good Tape is also very secure. Your audio files are transferred fully encrypted, stay within the European Union and are deleted immediately after transcription. You don't have to worry about your recordings being used to train AI models or being leaked to third parties.
Good Tape is currently free for everyone, but they plan to offer a freemium model in the future. This means that casual and private users can still use Good Tape for free, but professional users who need more security, speed and convenience will have to pay a subscription fee. Good Tape promises to provide so much value and save so many hours of work that most users will have no problem with this.
Good Tape is a great transcription service for journalists, researchers, marketers, consultants, video producers and anyone who needs to turn audio into text quickly and accurately. If you want to try it out yourself, you can visit their website at https://www.mygoodtape.com/ and see how it works.
