SymPhone Application Description

A telephone keypad has 3 or 4 equivalent letters for digits 2 through 9. The SymPhone programs uses a given number and computes matches against a word list.

To use SymPhone enter a phone number in the combo box at the top of the form and click on the SymPhones button.

In a few seconds the words that the phone number maps to are displayed in the list box below.

A SymPhone is a representation of a phone number that when entered on any phone keypad will dial the phone number that it represents. If your phone number contains many 1s or 0s then you may not get many interesting SymPhones. The digits 1 and 0 are not representable as letters.

Checking option boxes in the Options ... dialog increases the search space.

CAUTION: Owing to Windows limitations, entering large numbers with options turned ON may cause system to hang. Also, SymPhone computations once started are not abortable. For an NT version send mail to author.
