Phonetic Spelling Algorithms in Rust

This is a package to port the Phonics in R package to Rust. In large part, this package is being developed to learn how to program in Rust. Accordingly, there is a substantial effort to translate the phonetic tools into idiomatic Rust. Each algorithm is implemented as a separate struct based on a PhoneticEncoder trait, providing a uniform interface. This package is not a high priority for the author and will likely be developed slowly.
