If you typed Grammax into a search bar — you’re in the right place. That’s a very common way to spell our product’s name, and we know it well.
Where the Name Comes From
Gramax is built around the idea of structured knowledge: “gram” is a nod to grammar, and “max” stands for getting the maximum out of your documentation.
A double “m” could point to “grams” as in units of weight. But what mattered to us was grammar and structure, not quantity.
Insider info, do not read!
Before launch, we considered several other names:
- Cooperat — the idea of cooperative work on documentation. It sounded serious, but read like a typo of “cooperate.” Every time, you wanted to add a letter.
- Stroka — “line” in Russian, an obvious metaphor: what you produce in our system is lines of text. Too literal. It described the tool, not the reason it exists.
- Blend — blending meanings, merging different voices into one document. But the longer we looked at it, the less sure we were about what exactly was being blended.
How to Say It
The right way is GRAM-ax, with the stress on the first syllable, like in “grammar.”
Some people say gra-MAX, stressing the second syllable. We don’t mind at all. Language finds its own comfortable path, and if gra-MAX feels more natural to you — you’re not alone.
How We Live With It
We’ve accepted that Gramax, Grammax, GRAM-ax and gra-MAX are all us. Search works, people find the product, and in the end that matters more than perfect spelling or pronunciation.
Now you know.
