phonetic transcription

Post by digital-ether »

Hi,

I'm trying to get the phonetic transcription (written pronounciation) of a word using php.

Heres a link to the meaning of the term phonetic transcription:

I looked at aspell, pspell but dont think they support this (correct me if im wrong).
Seems like phonetic transcptions for each word should be available though?

Thanks in advance.

There are no such functions native to php. Similar ones are soundex(), metaphone(), among others..
