;;; Commentary:

;; The Soundex algorithm maps English words into representations of
;; how they sound.  Words with vaguely similar sound map to the same string.

;;; Code:

(defvar soundex-alist
  '((?B . "1") (?F . "1") (?P . "1") (?V . "1")
    (?C . "2") (?G . "2") (?J . "2") (?K . "2") (?Q . "2") (?S . "2")
    (?X . "2") (?Z . "2") (?D . "3") (?T . "3") (?L . "4") (?M . "5")
    (?N . "5") (?R . "6"))
  "Alist of chars-to-key-code for building Soundex keys.")

(defun soundex (word)
  "Return a Soundex key for WORD.

and Searching\", Addison-Wesley (1973), pp. 391-392."
