DESCRIPTION

20       This  package provides soundex algorithms which allow the comparison of
21       words based on their phonetic likeness.
22
23       Currently only an algorithm by Knuth is provided,  which  is  tuned  to
24       english names and words.
25
26       ::soundex::knuth string
27              Computes  the  soundex  code  of  the input string using Knuth's
28              algorithm and returns it as the result of the command.
