Example prompt: Can you check whether 'Smith' and 'Smyth' sound phonetically the same using soundex matching?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, fast phonetic comparison between exactly two text strings using the classic Soundex algorithm — ideal for name deduplication, fuzzy matching, or catching phonetic typos without requiring a full NLP pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Missing text_a or text_b fields returns an error
- Non-string inputs may cause processing failure
- Empty strings may yield trivial or undefined matches
- Payment not processed (402) blocks access
- Ambiguous or very short strings may produce low-quality soundex codes
