A phonetic matching technique (phonetic string matching) that excels at handling misspellings and letter absences, especially in languages other than English.
Metaphone is a specific Phonetic Matching Technique. It is highly effective for handling various types of phonetic errors, including misspellings, letter absences, and letter swaps.
Metaphone is particularly valuable for languages other than English where complex spelling variations are common. Its primary application is to improve brand monitoring and social listening accuracy by identifying brand mentions even when misspelled or partially mentioned. Double Metaphone is a related encoding system that provides primary and secondary phonetic representations.
