We use Burns Transcription. They charge $140/hr (i believe). Turn around is about a week. Quality is good.

In the past we used RapidTex, which was purchased by People Support, whose website is:

We used to use RapidText when I worked at Jump. Thye were fine - not the best, not the worst. I recall them being about $60 per recorded hour.

Here is someone who can do transcription, and she is fairly familiar with technology words. That turns out to be a big help!
Gayle Fluster is (was) $250 a two hour focus group tape around 2005. She know has her own company. Here is her contact info:

From my wife:
www.escriptionist.com <http://www.escriptionist.com/> is by far the most
reasonably priced service. If 100% accuracy is very important, other
services might be better but pricier. E.g., Tigerfish is a great SF based
service.
