Aehnlich

I came across an interesting little toolkit which I’ve added to my site. “Similarity” or “Sounds like” software is a toolkit for string search and comparison, providing experimental functions for Levenshtein Distance (a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences), Soundex (conversion of a word into number sequence to aid matching of strings despite minor differences in spelling) and Phonem (conversion of words into sequences of sounds, almost phonetic). Provides the sources and three extensions plus a test program and instructions in German, with a machine translated English text file translation. The author is Ralf Biedermann. The software is a 10kilobyte download from http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/tk/index.html
