This is the user's manual for Aspell

GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell.
It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker.

<h3 class="section">7.4 The Simple Soundslike</h3>

<p>The simple soundslike goes something like this:

<pre class="example">     sl0[0] = lookup0(word[0])
     for (i = 1; i &lt; size; i++)
       sl0[i] = lookup(word[i]);
     s = 0;
     for (i = 0; i &lt; size; i++)
       sl.append(al0[i]) unless sl0[i] == 0 || sl0[i] == sl0[i-1];
</pre>
   <p>Basically each character can be converted to another character or deleted. 
A separate lookup table is used for the first character.  If the same
soundslike letter is repeated, the duplicate is removed.

   <p>By default all accents are removed, and all vowels are deleted unless
they appear at the start of the word in which case they are converted
to a `<samp><span class="samp">*</span></samp>'.  The exact behavior can be customized via the character
data file.

   <p>The simplified soundslike has the advantage that it is very fast to
compute and thus does not need to be stored with a word.  Also, when
affix compression is used and the <samp><span class="option">partially-expand</span></samp> is given
the results will be identical to the results when affix compression is
not used.

   <p>Of course it is not nearly as powerful as the phonetic soundslike.
