I'm not sure if this is the right group but...

I have a friend who is looking for an algorithm to translate english
language text into phononyms, something more sophisticated than the
very simplistic 10 line soundex algorithms that are around.

Does anyone know of available software for doing this or articles on
this topic.

I suppose it is always possible that English is to irregular for
anything but the simplest methods, I don't know.
