Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-phonetic-matcher-soundex-dc791e5d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Do 'Smith' and 'Smyth' sound phonetically the same? Run a Soundex comparison on those two names for me.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, fast phonetic comparison of two specific strings using the well-known Soundex algorithm. Ideal for name deduplication, fuzzy matching, and spell-tolerance scenarios where exact string equality is too strict. Prefer over edit-distance (Levenshtein) approaches when sound similarity matters more than character-level proximity.

## Known failure modes

- Missing text_a or text_b fields returns an error
- Non-string inputs may cause processing failures
- Very long strings may produce unexpected results
- Empty strings may return a default or error response
- Non-Latin characters may not be handled by standard Soundex

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'result' field indicating the phonetic match outcome and a 'status' field confirming success. Specific match scores or boolean similarity values depend on the implementation, but the response confirms whether the two input strings are phonetically equivalent under the Soundex algorithm.
