I was doing bit of experimentation the Apache commons soundex. And, I found it works quite well for strings. I was looking for an API or way by which I can match words or strings in sms or usual IM formats formats which are like soundex. The following are some examples,
"4" to match with "four" or "for"
"@" to match with "at"
so on and so forth...
Is there an API existing to do this already? or a way to tweak the existing Soundex API to do this? Appreciate your time and help.
Thanks, Abi
