One possibility that I used to do as a subcontractor is having an audiovisual material captioned for the transcript by a captioning company – Access Captioning Technology (http://www.accesscaptioningtech.com/ ) is a good one and you can reach them at access.captioning.t...@gmail.com<mailto:access.captioning.t...@gmail.com>.
There are also companies that will add subtitles or closed captioning - http://www.itvdictionary.com/closed_captioning.html . It is also possible to learn how to add closed captioning to audiovisual materials if that would be a better fit! Hope this helped a little!
