The names of contacts are stored as characters. Each character may include one or more phonic codes that are encoded into the character. A smart filter decodes the character into its constituent sounds. An input string is received that includes phonic codes. An application matches the decoded constituent sounds with the specified phonetic codes from the input string in accordance with rules of the spoken language and character boundaries to determine a contact to display.
