asterisk users - Apr 2007 - Voicemail to Text Transcription(was: Re: [asterisk-dev] Voicemailto text translation)

(This subthread is more appropriate to -users than to -dev, so it is
crossposted only to mark its transition. Please reply on the -user list
only.)

	What are the cheapest prices for (humans) transcribing voicemail to
text as a service? The absolute cheapest, regardless of (known) quality
- the quality only has to compete with (cheaper) automated
transcription, which is abysmal quality.
