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.
