Description

The SoundsLike Phonetic Tokenizer for .Net applications is a phonetic normalization function that converts your customer names (or any text) into a numeric value that represents how it’s pronounced.

By querying against these numbers, you will enrich your database searches and your applications will get around the problem of finding data that has different spellings or finding data that has similar or identical pronunciation.

SoundsLike provides two levels of phonetic conversion (narrow and wide) and can also match name data based on a nickname group (e.g. Dick = Richard), currently supporting over 1,000 common nicknames.

Syntax Example

[C#] 

    //Initialize 
    TokenMaker objToken = new TokenMaker("*license key*"); 
    objToken.ProcessingFirstName = True; 
       : 
       : 
    //Loop processing 
    if (objToken.EqualsNarrow("Dick", "Richard")) { 
      displayRecord = true; 
    } 
    else { 
      displayRecord = false; 
    } 
       : 
       : 



[Visual Basic] 

    Dim objToken As New SoundsLike.TokenMaker("*license key*") 
    objToken.ProcessingFirstName = True 
       : 
       : 
    'Loop processing 
    If objToken.EqualsNarrow("Abbie", "Tabitha") Then 
      displayRecord = True 
    Else 
      displayRecord = False 
    End If 
       : 
       :
