Abstract

Phonetic matching plays key role in retrieving information in environment using multiple Indic languages. The purpose of retrieval of information involves searching of information from large database with different perspective so that further analysis can be done. In order to achieve these techniques such as indexing can be used along with ranking of matching. The strings actually represent the same keyword however due to language complexity it is possible that the same word may be spelt differently by different persons. Since in rural or urban areas, the selected word may be spelt or pronounced either wrongly or can be spelt differently. In cases of exact matching of words may not return correct result rather different techniques associated with phonetic matching can be used for retrieval. In this paper we proposed an approach, which provides a simple and efficient way of matching the strings in Hindi written in Roman. Our approach works on text-conversion technique for any Indian languages, especially Hindi, Marathi etc.
