Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in
|
|
English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the
|
|
same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in
|
|
spelling. Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms and is
|
|
often used (incorrectly) as a synonym for "phonetic algorithm". Improvements to
|
|
Soundex are the basis for many modern phonetic algorithms. (Wikipedia, 2007)
|
|
|
|
Text::Soundex implements the original soundex algorithm developed by Robert
|
|
Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as well as a variation
|
|
called "American Soundex" used for US census data, and current maintained by the
|
|
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
|
|
|
|
The soundex algorithm may be recognized from Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer
|
|
Programming. The algorithm described by Knuth is the NARA algorithm.
