metaphone 3 implementation with java

Question

Does anyone know where the code (not commercial stuff) can be found for Metaphone 3 matching for java? Even though apache has implemented Metaphone 1.2 (please see this site: Apache Metaphone 1.2 Implementation). But it didn't implement Metaphone 3. Any help is huge for me, thanks.

Answer 1

The author decided not to release nor the algorithm nor its source for the third version of Metaphone. [Metaphone 3 is sold as source code] You can contact the author via his website to see if some special cases are taken into account.

But you won't find anything legal freely available, sorry

Answer 2

Metaphone 3 is sold as C++, Java, or C# source.

Answer 3

Maybe this is too late for the OP but for anyone else looking for a java implementation of Metaphone3 check out the github repo of openrefine.

PS I know this is a "bad" link only answer but the source code is pretty large, so lets hope github is not shutting down the next years :-)
