Phonetics Library Node

The Phonetics Library Node transforms an input using a Phonetics Library.

A Phonetics Library is a list of character combinations and their transformations, based on phonetic equivalents. For example, a doubled consonant ("LL") might be replaced by a single consonant ("L"). This is useful when dealing with words which are subject to spelling errors or variant forms, usually proper names. The underlying principle is that names that are written to sound alike, even though they might not be written the same way, are likely to refer to the same entity.
