Did you try searching "sounds like" on Google? I put in those terms and
found a site for audio files: http://www.findsounds.com/help2.html I don't
know if that is of any help or not. But maybe you can find another website
this way also that will help you.

Subject: [PW] "sounds like" searching

Does anyone know of a way to find a word (in this case, a medication),
when the patron only knows what the word sounds like, but really doesn't
have any idea of how it's really spelled? I've Googled the few spelling
variations I can think of, but can't find anything. Any help would be
appreciated.
