The Soundex algorithm is a phonetic algorithm used to index words by their sound when pronounced in English, primarily to aid in matching names that sound similar but are spelled differently. It encodes a string into a four-character code based on the first letter and the subsequent consonant sounds, allowing for effective matching despite minor spelling variations.
