[silpa-discuss] Usage of Soundex algorithm in Spellchecker module

[Vasudev Kamath]

Hi,
I've seen that soundex is used to filter the candidates got after applying 
levenshtein algorithm. But as per this discussion soundex is pretty old and 
basically developed to compare american names (or words)
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42013/levenshtein-distance-based-methods-vs-
soundex
Now my point is how well it can help us in indic languages? as per my research 
i found one more algorithm called Metaphone developed in 1990's can we try to 
include this in silpa?

Thanks and Regards
