Phonet - Searching for doubles

Introduction

A program for context-sensitive phonetic string replacement.

The computer magazine c't has published in issue 25/1999, pp. 252, a program for context-sensitive phonetic string replacement. The program "phonet.c" modifies input strings according to predefined replacement rules in such a way that words with the same spelling (e.g. "tail" and "tale") are converted to the same string. This program can, for example, be used to implement error-tolerant search routines in address databases.
