Abstract

As a human we always makes mistakes while pronouncing the words, names , terms which sound alike. As a result of which those spellings are difficult to identify. In order to simplify this problem, we have discussed about an algorithm called Soundex Algorithm which provides a solution to pronunciation problem by giving a similar code with 1 letter and 3 digit code as syntactical solution to all term that sound alike. In our paper , we have discussed following section to give a brief overview- Introduction, History , Literature Review Algorithmic rules , Python based Implementation, Real Life Applications, Key Benefits, Limitations, and Conclusion.
