Can you just run the audio track through a closed captioning program, and then when you are watching/reviewing the video correct any incorrect transcription?
Here in the UK, pre-recorded programs are subtitled when they're made, usually by just copying 'n' pasting the script.
But for live programs like the news, I understand they hire extremely fast typists with special keyboards to type it up, hence the 10-20 second delay between the TV and the subtitles in live programs (you also see the words popping up on the TV in real-time too)
