The project provides Java implementations for several phonetic algorithms like:
- Soundex
- Metaphone
- Kölner Phonetik
- Phonet
The usage is very simple. Just create an instance of the required encoder and invoke the code method. Here is a simple example.
Coder c = new Phonet2();
c.code("Kiel");
To use the library you can simply add a dependency to phonet4java like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>de.zedlitz</groupId>
<artifactId>phonet4java</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
</dependency>
