Do you mean an algorithm that compares the
standard *written* representation of words and decides if they are homophones,
like ruff : rough or write : right?
What particular languages are you working
with?

Subject: [phoNet] Phonetic Algorithms !
High,
I am looking for phonetic algorithms able to
detect words with
almost the same sounds. I found an algorithm in PERL
working fine
in the English context. I want to apply this algorithm in
order
to find typing errors in databases. Working with databases
in 11
languages, I need the same algorithm but also for the 10
other
languages.
Can someone help me?
Also suggestions on how
to detect +/- identical words in one
language are very welcome.
Best
regards,
Stefan
