- Spelling mistakes
If the user is not sure about the spelling of words in an address or accidentally hit the wrong key, our search tool with fuzzy can still understand what the user meant to write. This can be very handy for internal systems too where addresses may be taken over the phone and are not spelled how they sound.
- Switched letters
It's really common for people to switch adjacent letters around in words when they type, for example Avenue (Aveneu) and Mian (Main). Our tool detects this switch and still understand what the user was looking for.
- Missing words and letters
If the user only knows parts of an address or simply want to identify an address quickly. Loqate's software will find the address even with words and letters missing.
- Abbreviations or nicknames
If the user shortens words in an address, using common abbreviations - like Blvd for Boulevard, or use familiar, regional names for suburbs that have since been swallowed up into city districts, the Loqate search technology can still identify the address the user was looking for and returns the full, valid address.
- Missing or extra spaces
Sometimes it's not clear whether a street name or place is made of one word or two, maybe it's hyphenated. Our address verification tool works to find the address even when users are unsure of the correct spacing or accidentally add too many spaces between words or letters.
