Post title: hire an expert for the transcription?
If it's an hour long and the French is clear and you are that slow, it might make sense to just hire a professional transcriptionist for that part of the work (will do a better job faster for less money).
There are some translators who can basically interpret with their fingers, that is, translate while listening to the audio. In that case, it makes sense for one person to do everything, but otherwise, it probably makes sense to divide up the job.
