SoundX/X
-
Version
1.00.007
The SoundX/X ActiveX control provides Soundex,
Extended Soundex, and Metaphone algorithms which
convert words or names to codes that represent how the
words "sound". This is useful in a database
application where users need to find names they may
not know how to spell.
Soundex is a letter plus digits, Extended Soundex is
purely numeric and can result in faster database
scans, and Metaphone is letters, which can result in a
better match rate, but also takes up more computer
storage space. The length of the codes (Soundex,
Extended Soundex and Metaphone) is selectable through
a property.
To generate the code, simply set the Word property
with the word or name for which you want a coded
entry. When you do this, SoundX generates the codes
for all three of the algorithms. All you have to do
is read the appropriate property: Soundex,
ExtSoundex, or Metaphone.
