Illinois. I wish I had the transcripts, but in civil court in the USA it's unusual as far as I'm aware to have a reporter transcribing. It is usually just recorded digitally, and then if there is an issue (e.g. appeal) the recordings are pulled and transcribed.
I'm assuming, without knowing, that I can have the recordings pulled without paying hundreds of dollars for transcripts. You can't FOIA judicial items in Illinois, but across the country you have a federal constitutional right to judicial items under the 1st Amendment.
In Massachusetts (and presumably elsewhere) you can visit a website and pay $10 to get the "For the Record" audio recording emailed to you. You only need the docket number iirc.
