Our story
We hope non-native
speakers
write more
naturally in English
with Engram
It’s extremely challenging to study or work in a second language. Our founders knew this from firsthand experience. So, in 2021, they created Engram, an AI-powered grammar checker and paraphraser optimized for non-native speakers. We hope to help our global community of English users communicate more freely and achieve academic and professional success.
