PhoneticEye Description

PhoneticEye is a fuzzy text matching technology for finding matches that sound Similar to a given text string. PhoneticEye Library can be used for comparing text strings and determining how similar they sound, on a scale of 0 to 100. PhoneticEye is PRECISE, is easy to use, it provides similarity rankings to enable filtering & sorting of the matches and is scalable. Searching for names of people, places, companies, titles etc. is more user friendly if Phonetic search is employed. For example: exact string search can't find desired matches if you are looking for "Geoffrey" but you enter a spelling, say, "jeffry", even though the two sound similar. Phonetic search is the way to enable users to get their queries answered in the first go as long as users can enter some spelling that sounds similar to what they are looking for. Why PhoneticEye? Phonetic searches, also called sound-alike searches, built using soundex, double-metaphone type of algorithms are too weak to be useful in many practical applications. Consider looking up a database of million customers when user is searching for "Cathrine". With search using above mentioned class of algorithms, Result set could be undesirably larger than the number of names that actually sound close to the one the user searched for. Result set may not have the records in any particular order. User has to browse that long list to find the desired records. Result set may contain big list of inappropriate records, like 'Cedrina', 'Cader' and will miss out many desired ones like "Katherine" PhoneticEye provides a scalable solution that solves all these problems with its precise matching and with its similarity ranking mechanism. Now you can build search features that find similar sounding results, filter them based on desired quality threshold and sort them with closest match appearing on top.
