Roger,
Sorry misunderstood your post, and never did answer your question, I thought you were looking to start dragon yourself, and I don't know of an outside transcriptionist. So the issue is trying to get your partner convinced. Or find a workable transcriptionist. It sounds like in house transcriptionist may be a possibility. But as I am sure you have repeatedly done, is lay out the objective reasons why it makes the most sense, but he has to buy into it himself. This is tough. If you don't believe in prayer, can he be blackmailed? Seriously, I think your on the right track.
