 The `prayut_and_somchaip` module is designed for Thai-English cross-language transliterated word retrieval using the Soundex technique. It is particularly useful for matching transliterated words in both languages.
 
+complete_soundex
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. autofunction:: complete_soundex
+
+The `complete_soundex` function implements the Complete Soundex algorithm for Thai word phonetic encoding based on Tapsai et al. (2020). Unlike traditional Soundex methods, it generates variable-length codes representing every syllable in a word.
+
+Each syllable is encoded using a 7-character block structure:
+
+* Initial Consonant (2 chars) - Phonetic grouping
+* Vowel (2 chars) - Including length markers
+* Final Consonant (1 char) - Sonorant clustering
+* Tone (1 char) - Tone mark encoding
+* Cluster Symbol (1 char) - Second consonant in clusters
+
+The algorithm handles complex Thai phonetic patterns including ทร transformation, รร special rules, cluster detection, and implicit vowels. Multi-syllable words are automatically tokenized and encoded. This soundex is particularly effective for handling misspelled words, character variations, and similar pronunciations.
+
+complete_soundex_similarity
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. autofunction:: complete_soundex_similarity
+
+The `complete_soundex_similarity` function calculates the similarity between two Complete Soundex codes using character-wise comparison.
+
+The similarity is computed using the formula:
+
+    S(X,Y) = Σ(sim(c_xi, c_yi)) / max(len(X), len(Y))
+
+where sim = 1 if characters match at position i, else 0.
+
+The result is normalized by the maximum length of the two codes, returning a float between 0.0 (no match) and 1.0 (perfect match). This function is useful for finding phonetically similar Thai words and handling spelling variations.
