How does the Phonetic Algorithms Calculator work?
Free Phonetic Algorithms Calculator - Given a name, this calculator translates a name to one of the following 3 phonetic algorithms:
* Soundex
* Metaphone
* New York State Identification and Intelligence System (NYSIIS)
This calculator has 1 input.
What 12 concepts are covered in the Phonetic Algorithms Calculator?
- NYSIIS
- New York State Information and Intelligence Systems. A phonetic coding algorithm
- algorithm
- A process to solve a problem in a set amount of time
- consonant

- phonetic algorithm
- n algorithm for indexing of words by their pronunciation
- soundex
- a coded surname index (using the first letter of the last name and three digits) based on the way a name sounds rather than the way it is spelled
- syllable
