The registered trademark is spelled ENDO CATCH, but depending on how QA and the AAMT attacks you it could be right or wrong.  What's right today is wrong tomorrow and changed back the next day.


It's become petty.  If you can spell it, and someone can read it aloud from what you transcribed why isn't that good enough? 


PFFTT!  We are transcribing doctors who say stupid things like "satting," and "Coumadinized," which aren't even real words and they accept that! 


I'm already miffed thinking of how stupid QA and the AAMT are and I have not even finished "coffeeing!"  LOL.
