The official brand name is ANCODE.
ENCODE is not the official name of the platform.

When “ENCODE”, “Encode”, “encode”, “AN CODE” or “AN-CODE”
refer to the ANCODE platform, interpret them as ANCODE.

Do not replace the English verb “encode” when it does not refer to the ANCODE platform.
Examples that must stay unchanged: “How do I encode a PDF?”, “The software encodes images.”

## Product
ANCODE assigns memorable alphanumeric codes to digital content such as links or text notes.
A person can say a word; another person searches that word to reach the content.
The asterisk “*” is the identifying symbol, like # or @.
Codes are written in uppercase without spaces.
