Name Matching

Name Matching

Here is a demonstration of our name matching algorithm to search for partial, misspelled or misheard names from a specified list of people.

The algorithm used here consists of several phonetic algorithms including Soundex, NYSIIS, D Metaphone, and OCREx algorithms as well as other methods of calculating similarities in names such as Jaro, Jaro Winkler, and Edit Distance methods.

When a name is searched, a 1000-based score is calculated for each name in the specified list based on these algorithms and methodologies.
