Syntax |
PHONEM (string$) |
Location |
Ähnlichkeiten |
This function returns a string (even though the name does not end with $) which is a (more Germanic) phonetic transcription of the supplied string. If two words sound similar or are even homophones, their PHONEM’s are identical. The function is not case-sensitive.
Examples
A$ = PHONEM ("Toolkit")
A$ = PHONEM ("DoolGid")
A$ = PHONEM ("DOLGYD")
All of which return “DOLCYD”.
NOTE
An expression such as:
PRINT PHONEM (a$) INSTR PHONEM (b$)
will always return 0 on pre Minerva ROMs. Use temporary variables to get around this problem:
t1$=PHONEM(a$) : t2$=PHONEM(b$)
PRINT t1$ INSTR t2$
which will work properly.
