I've used MTurk to have interviews transcribed several times, and almost always had flawless results. (sometimes jargon or names trips them up.) I've always been incredibly impressed at the speed they get done, which is substantially better than I've ever achieved doing them myself. I usually aim to pay $10 for a 10 minute segment, which should amount to more than $10/hour for a good typist.
