I want to compare user inputs with a string from a database. As I expect users to misspell all the time, I want to compare with a certain amount of slack.

Apparently, Daitch-Mokotoff have developed a system that is rather precise, more so than Soundex.

Does anyone know of an implementation of this system that will run on an iPhone (preferably Objective-C)?

Any help is appreciated.

A quick Google Code Search for Daitch Mokotoff returned a few hits for implementations in Java, PHP, Perl & C. It should be a pretty good starting point.

Thanks. I should have thought of that :) Found a C# implementation that I could port to Objective-C.
