professional video transcription?

There are no shortcuts for transcription. But why not try the service out? 
 Give them a sample and see how they do compared to your gold standard. 
 I'd be shocked if they were adequate but if they were - what a blessing.

In addition, it is essential to get a large sample from every dyad if the 
data are to be useful for examining syntactic patterns.  I now think that a 
minimum of 1000 utterances per child is required.  At the beginning of 
combinatorial speech, even more utterances from the child may be necessary, 
since many utterances are unintelligible or only one word.  And it's 
desirable to have a lot of dyads.  You don't say how often you will record, 
but that is also an issue.
