/teɪkaʊt/
is the correct version. I'm not sure why it sounds like /teɪgaʊt/ but we definitely use /teɪkaʊt/ here in America. I don't think it's British english either, so I'm not sure where that sound is being heard.
And for buy it, there is no omitting the I. You need both. Again, not sure where this is coming from because it's definitely not common to say /baɪt/
Maybe they mean you pronounce it like: /ba j ɪt/
but the j sound would the same as the Y in yellow, yams, yuck

1. Yes, sometimes an unvoiced consonant will become voiced between two vowels. 2. I haven't heard the i disappear completely but it will often become a schawa.
