If you hear in the radio or in the TV the names of the players, you know how to write down their names only if you are a fan.

To illustrate the the TRAPHO solution we collected the most complicated names of the German Soccer League (Saison 2003-2004).

Then we have produced a list of words which could be possible spellings of these names and testet the TRAPHO system. The name in the first row is compared via TRAPHO with the correct spelling (second row). We used the strict and the non-strict version. The language specific rules are applied in sequence so that more and other hits could be found. Results marked with '*' are found with the strict version. Some names couldn't be found, they are marked by '#'. The testers didn't know the correct spellings, because nobody of them is a soccer fan!
