Phonetic algorithms

Soundex

Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English. The goal is for homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling. The algorithm mainly encodes consonants; a vowel will not be encoded unless it is the first letter. Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms (in part because it is a standard feature of popular database software such as IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Ingres, MS SQL Server, Oracle. and SAP ASE.) Improvements to Soundex are the basis for many modern phonetic algorithms. (Wikipedia).

What is Sound? - Quickly Discover What Sound Really Is

What is Sound? This simple demonstration visually shows how sound waves are produced from a vibrating surface. A frequency generator is hooked up to a power amplifier, and the resultant signal is used to drive a loudspeaker. The signal is also sent to an oscilloscope. After listen

Show Me Some Science! Speed Of Sound

Sound is a wave which travels through the air at about 330 m/s. The Little Shop of Physics Crew dances to the music together. When spread out along the track, it takes about a third of a second for the sound to travel from the first person to the last. The crew is blindfolded, so there are

OSB 2015 - What's in a name? Phonetic Algorithms for Search and Similarity

Mercedes Coyle Search can be as simple as returning a word or part of word based on character similarity. LIKE and wildcard matches can be sufficient, but can only account for character or string matching, and fail on misspelled words or names. Phonetic algorithms can help us find matches
