Hi,
I've been using Speechmatics (https://www.speechmatics.com/), which is an automated transcription service. The results vary with the quality of the recording and how strong an accent the speaker has. I've gotten back everything from perfect
transcripts to around 20% accuracy. The transcript happens immediately after you upload the audio and is quite cheap, so when it works it's a fantastic time saver. They offer transcription of other languages than English, but I've never tried that myself.
