About Good Tape
Good Tape is a secure transcription platform based in Copenhagen, Denmark, specifically designed to meet the privacy requirements of journalists, legal professionals, and academics. Founded by journalists from an award-winning newsroom, the service emphasizes the protection of sensitive source material, ensuring that no user data is used to train AI models and that files are deleted after processing. The service operates as an independent entity, providing an alternative to US-based transcription services that often claim broad rights to user data. Good Tape processes all information on European servers via providers like Scaleway, ensuring full GDPR compliance and data residency within the EU. Its features include team-based collaboration, high-speed processing, and multi-language support, aimed at saving professionals from the labor-intensive task of manual transcription.
