Good Tape is a Copenhagen-based AI transcription platform originally built inside a Danish newsroom to solve the pain of manual transcription for journalists. The product converts audio and video files to accurate text across 100+ languages and dialects, with strong security guarantees including ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and EU-only data storage. It has grown to 2.5 million users worldwide and transcribed over 10 million files, reaching $2 million in ARR in under two years — all apparently bootstrapped. The platform is trusted by journalists, academics, lawyers, and consultants, and notable clients include Danish online media Zetland, which saves 20,000 hours a year using Good Tape in their newsroom.
