Finding the most phonetically similar word from WordNet Besides soundex and other libraries, that take two words and determine whether they are similar, is there any way to find the most similar sounding word from WordNet, for a given word? I tried to use autospell as a well to correct the spelling, but unable to get the desired results.
You could use e-speak to convert your words into a phonetic alphabet. What you can also do is use fuzzy-matching. Here is a nice blog post about this.
