it was this state of affairs that led lawrence phillips to find a replacement for the soundex algorithm, called the metaphone.

正是这个问题，引领着LawrencePhillips找到了Soundex算法的替代品，叫做Metaphone。

unlike soundex, however, metaphone codes are built to match the linguistic variabilities of pronunciation in the english language.

但是，与Soundex语音算法有所不同，构建语音代码的目的是匹配英文发音的语言可变性。

as a consequence of this irregularity, the soundex is not particularly well suited to spell checking in the english language.

这种不规范的后果就是，Soundex不太适合做英语中的拼写检查。

for example, the soundex gives the phonetically misspelled lam (l500) a different soundex code from the correct form, lamb (l510).

例如，Soundex对于拼写错误的lam（L500），提供了一个正确拼写形式lamb（L510）不同的语音编码。

for a start, words that sound distinct may have the same soundex.

首先来说，发音不同的单词可能有相同的soundex。

unfortunately, the soundex algorithm is a poor candidate for spell checking.

不幸的是，Soundex算法是一个差劲的拼写检查备选方案。

A spell check application based on Soundex would not, therefore, offer lamb as a suggested correction for the misspelling lam.

这样，基于Soundex的拼写检查应用程序就无法把lamb作为拼写错误的lam的修改建议。

Methods The blood stream parameters of testicular artery of seventeen TM cases and 18 healthy volunteers as the control group were measured by direct soundex and low-speed blood stream intercalation.

方法采用直接探测法及低速血流设置对17例TM患者的睾丸内动脉的血流参数进行了检测，并和18例正常人对照。

line 15 constructs the soundex by truncating the word to four characters (possibly padded with 0 characters).

行15通过把单词裁剪成4个字母，形成Soundex（可能要用字符0来填充）。

this isn't surprising, since the soundex algorithm was designed to group names that sound alike, not just those that sound identical.

这并不奇怪，因为Soundex算法的设计，就是为了把发音相似的名字组合在一起，而不是严格地按照发音相同组合。

the soundex algorithm brings this problem on itself by failing to map the initial letter of each word to a phonetic digit.

Soundex算法本身造成了这个问题，因为它无法把每个单词中的原始字母映射成语音数字。

Metaphones, like Soundex and other algorithms, use a alphanumeric code to represent the verbal pronunciation of a word.

与Soundex语音算法和一些其他算法类似，Metaphone使用字母数字代码表示单词的发音。

conceptual, word stem, and soundex searches are possible within the current general framework, but would take quite a bit of work.

概念上，词干和探测法搜索可能已在现有的基本框架之中，但其需要花费很大的工作量。

As you'll recall, the Soundex algorithm also truncates each soundex code to four characters, further boosting the number of matches by ignoring the ends of long words.

您应当还记得，Soundex算法也会把每个soundex代码裁剪成4个字符，这样就疏忽了长单词的尾部，因此也就进一步增加了匹配的数量。

soundex algorithms have been used to index all us censuses from 1920 onwards, and are a staple of family history software.

Soundex算法从1920年起就一直被用来为所有美国人口做索引，是家族软件常用的算法。
