What is it?

MetaphonePtBr is a text transformation algorithm based on phonetic rules of the Portuguese Brazilian language.

How to use?

First, add the NuGet package to the desired project.

Then, on any string containing a single word:

var metaphoneToken = "Word".GetMetaphoneToken();

It is just that!

How it works?

Basically, it generates a metaphone token from the single word provided.

For instance, the name Cristopher and the following variations generates the same KSF metaphone token:

  • Christofer
  • Christofr
  • Christopher
  • Christophr
  • Cristofer
  • Cristofr
  • Cristophr

In other words, the metaphone token is the core letters that identify the word by the way it sound. It can be very useful for searches like names, addresses, products, brands and many more when:

  • Looking for similar word
  • Looking for a specific word, even though it was slightly misspelled

While iterating through the letters of the word, depending on the current letter, the algorithm considers:

  • The current index
  • *The next letter
  • *The first letter after the next letter
  • *The previous letter
  • *The first letter before the previous letter

*If there is.
