I was on a project a few years ago where we used a soundex algorithm to determine and eliminte duplicate data.

For example we would have:

301 Fairfield Lane
301 Faerfield Lane

Notice the typo? The soundex algorithm caught it. Unfortunately I forgot to grab a copy before I left. Everytime I do a google search on soundex I get a theory website explaining the math behind it.

anyone have one written? or know where I can find one? It is incredibly useful.
