I wouldn't recommend an audio typist unless they were also a
trained electronic notetaker.
Audio typing is not the same as electronic notetaking. The former is
trained to type at speed from a recording over which they have
control by stopping and starting using a footswitch. There is
generally no summarising or other processing going on. High
speeds can be maintained and the typist has control.
Trying to apply that in a lecture would be disastrous. The typist
doesn't have on/off control over the speaker and therefore can't
sustain verbatim high typing speeds over a prolonged period such
as an hour or even 45 minute lecture. They would therefore have to
summarise and would need to be traained to do this as electronic
notetakers are.
