Recommended Usage
Hybrid Deduper, where a single incoming record can quickly be evaluated independently against each record in an existing large master database.
Databases created via real-time data entry where audio likeness errors are introduced.
Databases of US and English language origin.
Not Recommended For
Database where disemvoweling was used to reduce storage space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disemvoweling).
Do Not Use With
UTF-8 data. This algorithm was ported to MatchUp with the assumption that a character equals one byte, and therefore results may not be accurate if the data contains multi-byte characters.
