defmodule Text.Phonetic.DoubleMetaphone do @moduledoc """ Double Metaphone phonetic encoding (Lawrence Philips, 2000). Double Metaphone is the de-facto standard for fuzzy matching of English names with non-English origins. Unlike single Metaphone, it returns **two** codes per input — a *primary* and an *alternate* — reflecting the fact that the same Anglicised name may be pronounced differently depending on the speaker's expectations. Two names are considered a match when *any* of the four (primary_a, alternate_a) × (primary_b, alternate_b) combinations agree. ## When to use Double Metaphone is the strongest of the four phonetic encodings shipped with `text` for English-language name matching, and it handles non-Anglo-Saxon names (Slavic, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Greek, …) noticeably better than `Soundex`, `Metaphone`, or `NYSIIS`. It is the algorithm Apache Lucene's `DoubleMetaphoneFilter` uses, and the algorithm Python's `jellyfish` and `metaphone` packages expose by default. Use `Soundex` only for compatibility with legacy systems that expose Soundex codes (databases, government records). Use `Cologne` for German-only corpora — it outperforms Double Metaphone there. ## Reference Philips, L. (2000). *The Double Metaphone Search Algorithm*. C/C++ Users Journal, 18(6), 38–43. This implementation is a port of the canonical algorithm and validates against the test vectors published with the original paper. """ alias Text.Clean @typedoc "A `{primary, alternate}` code pair returned by `encode/2`." @type code :: {String.t(), String.t()} @doc """ Returns the Double Metaphone code pair `{primary, alternate}` for `name`. When the name is unambiguous, `primary` and `alternate` are the same string. ### Arguments * `name` is a string. Diacritics are folded via `Text.Clean.unaccent/1` before encoding; non-Latin letters are discarded. ### Options * `:max_length` — truncate both codes to this many characters. Defaults to `4` (the canonical Philips length); pass `nil` to skip truncation. ### Returns * A 2-tuple `{primary, alternate}` of uppercase ASCII strings. Returns `{"", ""}` for empty input or input containing no Latin letters. ### Examples iex> Text.Phonetic.DoubleMetaphone.encode("Smith") {"SM0", "XMT"} iex> Text.Phonetic.DoubleMetaphone.encode("Schmidt") {"XMT", "SMT"} iex> Text.Phonetic.DoubleMetaphone.encode("Thompson") {"TMPS", "TMPS"} """ @spec encode(String.t(), keyword()) :: code() def encode(name, options \\ []) when is_binary(name) do max_length = Keyword.get(options, :max_length, 4) case prepare(name) do [] -> {"", ""} letters -> {primary, alternate} = walk(letters) { maybe_truncate(primary, max_length), maybe_truncate(alternate, max_length) } end end @doc """ Returns `true` if `name_a` and `name_b` share at least one of the four primary/alternate code combinations (and both produce non-empty codes). ### Arguments * `name_a` is a string. * `name_b` is a string. ### Options Same as `encode/2`.
