www.podtranscript.com - offers a complete solution by using experienced human transcriptionists to do the job. The firm says software or hardware solutions that translate audio to text is nowhere near to perfect, so they do it the 'old fashioned way' - with humans.

http://castingwords.com - They offer podcast transcription searching as well as an affordable, fast, online transcription service.
