akatie / Double-Metaphone

Double metaphone is a phonetic algorithm,developed by Lawrence Philips.Lawrence Philips' Metaphone family of algorithms return a rough approximation of how an English word sounds, which should be the same for words or names that sound similar, and can be used as a lookup key. Metaphone algorithms are widely used in Spell Checkers, Search Interfaces, De-Duping programs, and Geneology Sites.I have made an attempt to port it to python
