('TNJR', 'TNKR')Module Contents
The phonetics module defines the following function:
- phonetics. soundex(source [, size=4])
Use the soundex algorithm to create the phonetic key of the source string.
- phonetics. nysiis(source)
Use the New York State Identification and Intelligence System to create the phonetic key of the source string.
- phonetics. metaphone(source)
- Use the metaphone algorithm to create the phonetic key of the source string.Based on Lawrence Philips’ Metaphone Algorithm.
- phonetics. dmetaphone(source)
- Use the double methaphone algorithm to create the phonetic key of the source string.Based on Lawrence Philips’ Metaphone Algorithm.
