Class DoubleMetaphone

java.lang.Object
  org.egothor.parser.filter.DoubleMetaphone

public final class DoubleMetaphone
extends java.lang.Object

This module implements a "sounds like" algorithm developed by Lawrence Philips which he published in the June, 2000 issue of C/C++ Users Journal. Double Metaphone is an improved version of Philips' original Metaphone algorithm.

This version contains improvements by David Dossot <david@dossot.net>.

This code is based on an implementation by Ed Parrish, which was obtained from: http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~eparrish/toolbox/search.html See also: http://aspell.sourceforge.net/metaphone/ for more info.
