## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kihustle-metaphone-encoder-1db8cdfb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get the Metaphone phonetic encoding for the name 'Katherine'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, fast Metaphone phonetic encoding for English-language names or words — particularly useful for deduplication pipelines, fuzzy name matching, or building phonetic search indexes. Prefer this over Soundex when you need more nuanced phonetic detail for longer words.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns an error or unexpected result
- Non-alphabetic or numeric-only input may produce empty or degenerate metaphone codes
- Very long strings may be truncated or return unexpected encodings
- Service unavailability returns a payment or server error
