About Good Tape

Founded in 2022 by journalists Ýmir Gyðuson Gíslason and Lasse Finderup, Good Tape began as an internal tool within the Danish newsroom Zetland. The company provides an AI-powered transcription service focused on data privacy, GDPR compliance, and security. Its software is designed for professionals such as journalists, researchers, and lawyers, allowing users to transcribe audio into text without training AI models on private data. The company recently launched Explore, a feature that enables users to search and analyze patterns across their entire history of transcriptions.
