Brand story

In January 2023,
AI-powered English proofreader
Pcanpi
has been rebranded to
Engram

“Pcanpi” was a homage to the sweet and delicious pecan pie. Although the name “Pcanpi”
was sweet and lovable, “Pcanpi” did not reflect the main services of the site which include the
grammar check and
AI proofreader. For this reason, we came up with “Engram,” a name that is
not only more intuitive and easy to remember but also embodies the essence of our service.

Intuitive

“En” is the code for English in the ISO 639-1 codes

Accurate

Easy-to-use
