Soundex is an algorithm (due to Knuth?) to do spell-checking.

Soundex soundex = new Soundex ();
int numSuggestions = 4;
soundex.insertDictionary (new File ("/usr/dict/words"));
// or
soundex.insert ("Birkbeck");
soundex.insert ("Zbygniewski");
soundex.insert ("toy");
soundex.insert ("car");
soundex.insert ("lorry");
soundex.insert ("bicycle");
PriorityQueue pq = soundex.getClosest (s, numSuggestions);
if (pq == null) {
System.out.println ("No matches.");
} else {
Soundex.EditWord ew;
while ((ew = (EditWord) pq.pop ()) != null) {
System.out.println (ew.s + " with " + ew.distance + " edits.");
}
}
