You can use MTurk by using crowdflower.com outside the US. I'm in Canada and I use WO app that submits jobs and pulls data from MTurk via crowdflower. I highly suggest it. It makes MTurk far easier to use as well.
That being said, wouldn't it be easier just to shoot the files to a transcription company? Especially since there's alot of domain specific terminology. The biggest pain I've had with crowd-sourcing is getting your error rate down. You can brute force it with high cost jobs or job repetition (which crowdflower does beautiful). Or you need to manually review everything. Or you can do it with trial and error, and how your job is designed. I only got the hang of it after submitting 6-12k jobs per month for at least 4 months before I was really happy.
