DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.5: User Guide

Customize - Phonetics Editor

DataFlux Data Management Studio software uses phonetic analysis (Phonetics) during the process of generating match codes. Phonetics processing involves applying a set of Phonetics rules to an input string. The goal is to create Phonetics rules that produce the same output string for input strings that have similar pronunciations and/or spellings. For example, the following two strings are phonetically equivalent in English:

• "SCHMIDT"
• "SHMITT"

Phonetics rules would reduce both of these to the string "SHMIT." To create Phonetics rules, use the Customize Phonetics Editor.
