As you'll recall, the Soundex algorithm also truncates each soundex code to four characters, further boosting the number of matches by ignoring the ends of long words. 您应当还记得,Soundex算法也会把每个soundex代码裁剪成4个字符,这样就疏忽了长单词的尾部,因此也就进一步增加了匹配的数量。
Metaphones, like Soundex and other algorithms, use a alphanumeric code to represent the verbal pronunciation of a word. 与Soundex语音算法和一些其他算法类似,Metaphone使用字母数字代码表示单词的发音。
Essentially, Soundex algorithms function by mapping each letter of a given alphabet to a numerical code representing its phonetic group. 从实际上说,Soundex算法的运作方式是把某个字母表中的每个字母映射成代表它的语音组的一个数字代码。
As in the Soundex algorithm, the first letter is retained and the final code is truncated to four characters, although it is not padded if shorter. 就像在Soundex算法里一样,第一个字母被保留,最后的代码被裁剪成四个字符,但是如果短于四个字符,也并不填充。
