Good Tape, a Copenhagen-based AI transcription company, has secured new funding and launched Explore, a tool to uncover stories hidden in old interviews. The company, co-founded by Ýmir Gyðuson Gíslason and Lasse Finderup, started as an internal tool at a Danish newsroom called Zetland. Journalists at Zetland built Good Tape to transcribe interviews accurately without sharing sensitive information with third parties.
Since its creation, Good Tape has completed over 15 million transcriptions in more than 100 languages for various professionals.
Explore, Good Tape's latest offering, connects every new recording to previous transcriptions, surfacing changes in opinions, contradictions, and supporting arguments. This helps journalists, researchers, and teams trace developments across months of recordings while maintaining user privacy. Founder and CEO Lasse Finderup explains that Explore "surfaces changed opinions, contradictions, and supporting arguments, each linked to the original recording."
Good Tape's management buyout from Zetland allowed the company to raise external investment and focus on product development. Explore, launched this week, builds on Good Tape's transcription capabilities by adding a "context layer" that reminds users of valuable information they may have forgotten. The company also aims to streamline the workflow for journalists by integrating the Recorder app and collaborating with popular LLMs like Claude, Copilot, and GPT.
