decipehr soundslike TSPR
decipher soundslike TSF
corretcing soundslike KRTSN
correcting soundslike KRKTN
Summary of my understanding:
- Metaphone is a transformation from text to a "sounds-like"
representation, very similar to Soundex.
- Ispell suggests words with small edit-distance in the text plane
- This is good at finding typos
- Aspell suggests words with small edit-distance in the Metaphone
plane
- This is good at finding the correct spelling for a word a
user doesn't know how to the spelling
- This is poor at finding typos, a single transposition or
substitution in the text plane can yield very different
Metaphone strings
- E.g. transposition in text plane can lead to 2-character
change in the metaphone plane
I suggest:
- Populate the suggestions list with the regular edit-distance
(ispell) algorithm. The scoring algorithm needn't change.
What do you think?
