Glad to be of service... 😄
> did you consider metaphone matching?
I did not even know about this. Sounds super interesting. Though it seems to be very language specific?
My original intent was to not rely on language specifics. But maybe we could just define additional steps in the pipeline for specific languages. Hm. I'll have to think about this some more, but it might definitely be a great idea for a future version, so thanks for telling me about it!!

Recently had cause to use https://github.com/oubiwann/metaphone (the doublemetaphone algorithm) for trying to match NER results from an audio transcript to known/expected entities and it worked really well. First pass: exact match; second pass: (double)metaphone; third pass: rapidfuzz. edit: > Double Metaphone tries to account for myriad irregularities in English of Slavic, Germanic, Celtic, Greek, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and other origin.
