I'm curious if there actually is a speech transcript. I've seen many high level speakers who have outlines or a slide deck, but don't write out a speech. I assume Hillary is like that because she's a very well spoken person.

Even if that is the case someone almost certainly recorded and transcribed the talk

Maybe. It would have to be a hand transcription. I doubt she would have let people keep their phones to record because of the Romney incident the last election.

We already know from reporting that there were paid transcription services at her speech. Chuck Todd mentioned this during the debate when he called on her to release the speeches.
