=head1 NAME

Text::Phonetic - A base class for phonetic algorithms

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Phonetic::Metaphone;

  my $phonetic = Text::Phonetic::Metaphone->new();
  $encoded_string = $phonetic->encode($string);
  @encoded_list = $phonetic->encode(@list);

  my $same = $phonetic->compare($string1,$string2);

Or

  use Text::Phonetic;
  my $phonetic = Text::Phonetic->load( algorithm => 'Phonix' );
  $encoded_string = $phonetic->encode($string);

This module provides an easy and convinient way to encode names with various
phonetic algorithms. It acts as a wrapper around other phonetic algorithm
modules like L, L, L
and also implements some other algorithms such as
L, L,
L and L.

This module can easily be subclassed.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 Constructors

=head3 new

 $obj = Text::Phonetic::SUBCLASS->new(%PARAMETERS)

You can pass arbitrary attributes to the constructor. The only global
attribute is C which defaults to 1 if not set. This attribute
controls if non-latin characters should be transliterated to A-Z
(see also L).

Additional attributes may be defined by the various implementation classes.

=head3 load

 $obj = Text::Phonetic->load(algorithm => $algorithm, %PARAMETERS)

Alternative constructor which also loads the requested algorithm subclass.

=head2 Methods

=head3 encode

 $RETURN_STRING = $obj->encode($STRING);
 OR
 @RETURN_LIST = $obj->encode(@LIST);
 OR
 $RETURN_LIST_REF = $obj->encode(@LIST);

Encodes the given string or list of strings. Returns a single value, array or
array reference depending on the caller context and parameters.

Returns undef on an empty/undefined/whitespace only string.

=head3 compare

 $RETURN_CODE = $obj->compare($STRING1,$STRING2);

The return code is an integer between 100 and 0 indicating the likelihood that
the to results are the same. 100  means that the strings are completely
identical. 99 means that the strings match after all non-latin characters
have been transliterated. Values in between 98 and 1 usually mean that the
given strings match. 0 means that the used alogorithm couldn't match the two
strings at all.
C is a shortcut to the C<$obj-E_do_compare($CODE1,$CODE2)> method.

=head2 Class Methods

=head3 available_algorithms

 my @available = Text::Phonetic->available_algorithms;

Returns a list of all available/installed algorithms

=head1 SUBLCASSING

You can easily subclass Text::Phonetic and add your own phonetic algorithm.
All subclasses must use Text::Phonetic as their base class, reside in
the Text::Phonetic namespace, and implement the following methods:

=head2 _do_encode

 $RESULT = $obj->_do_encode($STRING);

This method does the actual encoding. It should return either a string or
an array reference.

=head2 _do_compare

 $RETURN_STRING = $obj->_do_compare($RESULT1,$RESULT2);

If your C<_do_encode> method doesn't return a single scalar value you also
might need to implement a comparison method. It takes two results as returned
by C<_do_encode> and returns an integer value between 98 and 0
(see L<"compare">).

=head2 _predicates

Third party modules can be marked as predicates by adding the C<_predicates>
method which should return al list of package names. All predicates will be
loaded if installed. If missing an exception will be thrown.

=head2 Object structure

Text::Phonetic uses L to declare attributes.

=head2 Helper class methods

=head3 _compare_list

 Text::Phonetic::_compare_list($LIST1_REF,$LIST2_REF);

Compares the two arrays and returns true if at least one element is equal
(ignoring the position) in both lists.

=head2 Example class

 package Text::Phonetic::MyAlgorithm;
 use Moo;
 extends qw(Text::Phonetic);

 has someattribute => (
    is  => 'rw',
 );

 sub _do_encode {
     my ($self,$string) = @_;
     # Do something
     return $phonetic_representation;
 }

 __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
 no Moo;
 1;

L (Phonetic encoding for video game titles)

=head1 SUPPORT

Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or
through the web interface at
L.
I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on
your report as I make changes.
