Soundex

Soundex coding groups together words that appear to sound alike based on their spelling. For example, “can” and “khawn”, “con” and “gone” would be equivalent under Soundex coding.

Soundex coding involves translating each word into a series of digits, in which each digit represents a letter:

• 1 represents B, F, P, or V.
• 2 represents C, G, J, K, Q, S, X, or Z.
• 3 represents D or T.
• 4 represents L.
• 5 represents M or N.
• 6 represents R.

The letters A, E, I, O, U, H, W, and Y are not represented in Soundex coding, and repeated letters with the same code digit are represented by a single instance of that digit. Words with the same Soundex coding are considered equivalent.
