To be able to encode text strings into metaphone and soundex representations would be a useful addition to FME's capabilities, and would perhaps fits within the existing TextEncoder transformer.

My use case is with regard to place names, specifically to aid checking that candidate new names do not clash phonetically with existing names.

Thanks!
