In general transcription it is not uncommon for you to run across common company names that are used frequently. It is amazing how adding text expanders can help you with capitalization and correct nomenclature of these words. Tara so graciously provided more information on text expanders that can be found here.
Below is a list of expanders I have entered into my ShortKeys program. You'll notice that some actually expand and others just properly capitalize the word. I based my decision between those on how often I find the words coming up in my everyday work.
