As of a year or two ago the automated options still all suck. (<80% accuracy - where’s the NSA when you need them?)
At one point I had a few hundred hours of audio I needed to get through and didn’t want to waste the time listening. I got it transcribed on Elance for about $7/hr, (of audio). The result was very good quality, albeit “British English”, with the only mistakes being technical jargon that nobody in their right mind would have gotten right anyway. I have since seen similar work advertised for less on Fiverr but I don’t know the quality or turn-around time.
HTH!
