>I am looking for literature that discusses searching for words based on
>phonetics rather than spelling. For example, given a word "foo" how many
>words can I find in a standard dictionary that have a similar sound. I
>have heard of some software called "xsound" but the person who mentioned
>it didn't know much about it. If anyone can point me to information
>regarding this software or any literature in this area I would appreciate it.
>This is outside my normal research area so I am starting from square one.
