What Is Cat Scratch? (For Case CATalyst Users)

The cat scratch function in case catalyst is akin to being able to place a neat Post-It list onto your screen while working on a transcript.

Cat scratch allows you to perform the following actions: Keep a suggested brief from Brief It on the screen to be able to easily reference it throughout a job, make a list of words and phrases in a separate pane on your screen, and make a list of the job’s most frequently used dictionary entries.

Below is a video showing the many functions of cat scratch:

Video: Case CAT Edit Commands


Here’s a video showing some of the edit features of Case CAT.

This video shows how to keep names that begin with the title of Mr., Dr., etc., together with the person’s actual name on the same line of a transcript. The sticky space feature is explained.

The video also shows how to create a new paragraph. In my dictionary, I personally have PRAF/PRAF defined as a new paragraph, and PAR/PAR defined as a new line. There is also a demonstration of how to all cap a phrase, or to uncap a phrase (highlight it, then press Ctrl + F5).

[NOTE: During the video, the reveal codes is on (Ctrl + Shift + R).]
