The project provides Java implementations for several phonetic algorithms like:

• Soundex
• refined Soundex
• Kölner Phonetik
• Daitch-Mokotoff
• Phonet

The usage is very simple. Just create an instance of the required encoder and invoke the code method. Here is a simple example.

Coder c = new Phonet2();
c.code("Kiel");

To use the library you can simply add a dependency to phonet4java like this:

<dependency>
	<groupId>de.zedlitz</groupId>
	<artifactId>phonet4java</artifactId>
	<version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

Here are some example to get an impression how the different algorithms work:
