This package can search text matching the sound of words.

It can match text of single words or sentences according to the similarity of the sound of the words in different languages.

Currently it provides classes specialized in matching word sounding in English, French and German.

Sometimes it is necessary to match words by the sound a person would make to pronounce them because users may be misspelling the words due to typing mistakes eventually caused by confusion between similar words.

There are algorithms like soundex and metaphone that can match words by the way they sound. However, sometimes these algorithms only work well for matching English words.

This package provides a broader solution that can match better words by the way they sound in a way that works with other languages like French and German.

Installation

  1. Install and use composer in your project.
  2. Require this package via composer:
composer require voku/phonetic-algorithms

Usage

You the "phonetic_word"-method if you need a fuzzy-search for single words e.g. last-names or product-names.

use voku\helper\Phonetic;

$words = array(
  'Moelleken',
  'Mölleken',
  'Möleken',
  'Moeleken',
  'Moellecken',
  'Möllecken',
  'Mölecken',
);
$phonetic = new Phonetic('de');
foreach ($words as $word) {
  $phonetic->phonetic_word($string); // '6546'
}

You can use the "phonetic_sentence"-method to process sentences.

use voku\helper\Phonetic;

$string = 'Ein Satz mit vielen Wortern';
$phonetic = new Phonetic('de');
$phonetic->phonetic_sentence($string, (bool) false, (false|int) false); 

// [
//   'Ein' => '06', 
//   'Satz' => '8', 
//   'mit' => '62', 
//   'vielen' => '356', 
//   'Wortern' => '37276'
// ]

You can use the "phonetic_matches"-method to search for words in an array of words.

use voku\helper\Phonetic;

$phonetic = new Phonetic('de');

$tests = array(
    'Moelleken',  // '6546',
    'Mölleken',   // '6546',
    'Möleken',    // '6546',
    'Moeleken',   // '6546',
    'oder',       // '027',
    'was',        // '38',
    'Moellecken', // '6546',
    'Möllecken',  // '6546',
    'Mölecken',   // '6546',
);

$phonetic->phonetic_matches('Moelleken', $tests);
    
// [
//   'Moelleken'  => 'Moelleken',
//   'Mölleken'   => 'Moelleken',
//   'Möleken'    => 'Moelleken',
//   'Moeleken'   => 'Moelleken',
//   'Moellecken' => 'Moelleken',
//   'Möllecken'  => 'Moelleken',
//   'Mölecken'   => 'Moelleken',
// ]
