Sørensen-Dice similarity coefficient in [0,1] over character bigrams — robust to word order and minor edits.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/compare
Report whether two tokens sound alike under a chosen algorithm (soundex, metaphone or double-metaphone; default double-metaphone). Returns each token's codes and a boolean match.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/damerau
Damerau-Levenshtein distance — like Levenshtein but also counts adjacent transpositions as a single edit — plus a normalized similarity in [0,1].
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/dice
Sørensen-Dice similarity coefficient in [0,1] over character bigrams — robust to word order and minor edits.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/double-metaphone
Encode a word with Double Metaphone, returning a primary and a secondary code to capture alternate pronunciations (useful for non-English names).
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/hamming
Hamming distance — the number of positions at which two EQUAL-LENGTH strings differ — plus a normalized similarity. Strings of unequal length are a clean 400.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/jaccard
Jaccard similarity index in [0,1] — the size of the intersection over the union of the two strings' character-bigram sets.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/jaro
Jaro similarity and the Jaro-Winkler variant (which boosts scores for a shared prefix), both in [0,1]. The prefix boost factor is configurable (default 0.1, max 0.25). Well suited to short strings like names.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/levenshtein
Levenshtein edit distance (insertions, deletions, substitutions) between two strings, plus a normalized similarity in [0,1]. Operates on Unicode code points.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/metaphone
Encode a word with the Metaphone algorithm — more accurate than Soundex for English pronunciation.
https://similarity.openverbs.com/v1/soundex
Encode a word with the classic Soundex algorithm (letter + 3 digits) for phonetic matching of names.
