SoundX (Magic xpa 3.x)

Compares homonyms.

Returns an Alpha string that enables comparison between two Alpha strings that sound alike, but are spelled differently.

Syntax:

SoundX(string)

Parameters:

string: An Alpha string.

Returns:

Alpha string containing 4 characters

Example:

SoundX('John Doe')=SoundX('Jhn De') returns TRUE

Note:

The function returns a four-character alpha value. 'John Doe', 'Jhn De', 'JOhN Deo' each return 'J530'. 'Steve' returns 'S310' while 'Svte' returns 'S130'. SoundX values of strings can be determined and then used in comparisons and in condition statements. These values can also be stored in a file and indexed to allow direct access.
