I'm working on a project where I had my SME tape the training class she
gives with whatever comments she wanted to make to me as she went along. I
gave the tape to a secretarial service and it cost about $250 to get about
4 hours of tape transcribed.

Back when I was in journalism school, I taped lots of sources (with their
permission, of course). I'd use it now if I were doing marketing writing or
something where I needed quotes.
