Mike,
I transcribed from home many moons ago. I can't tell you what the going rate is now.
I'm not familiar with your neck of the woods, but if you have a local community college, see if they an office systems technology program. They probably have some students who would love to transcribe for you. Also, many transcriptionists work from home, so you could call doctors' offices and see if they have any recommendations. I used to transcribe for a psychologist when my children were small.
