Description

Converts a string into a Word that represents its phonetic value.

SoundexWord uses a Soundex algorithm to convert the string specified by AText into a phonetic representation where each character of the resulting string represents one of six families of similar phonemes. It then returns an unsigned 16-bit value that uniquely represents the first 4 Soundex codes in that string representation.
