Actually released a while ago, but hey.

gem install text
Soundex, Metaphone, Double Metaphone, Levenshtein, and Figlet
algorithms all under the same roof. Any suggestions for anything to add?
Wow! With a list like that, the only thing left is FWIMNWIS. (Find What
I Mean, Not What I Say)
:-))
Downloaded! Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for making this much needed library. This gives
everyone the chance to create simple yet effective interfaces based
solely on text-based input (e.g. Google), instead of laboring over
the same old heavy-weight GUI interfaces.

Porter stemming is the only standout that I can think of which might be useful in addition... Google says there's one here:
http://www.tartarus.org/martin/PorterStemmer/ruby.txt
It's public domain code, according to http://www.tartarus.org/martin/PorterStemmer/\.

There is also a Ruby interface to WordNet, although I'm not sure how
current it is.
Version 1.1.0 now includes the Porter Stemmer. Thanks for the
suggestion Alex!

Sorry for the dumb question, but I couldn't find ANY documentation in
the Text gem directories so I'll ask here. How do you include and use
this libarary? I think that "require_gem 'Text'" works but how do I
then use it? When I try:
Text::Levenshtein(str1, str2)
or
Text.Levenshtein(str1, str2)
...I get a "undefined method `Levenshtein' for Text:Module"
Thanks for the help.

Not a dumb question, seeing as the documentation isn't actually
included in the gem. I'll fix that in the next release. For
Levenshtein, the following should work:
require 'rubygems'
require 'text'
Text::Levenshtein.distance(a, b)
You can also view the main README here:
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/README.rdoc?revision=11&root=text
Hope that helps!

I uploaded the currents docs to the project web space a few days ago.
It makes for easier browsing there, I think.

Also, a mixin for String that provided method interfaces to all these
would be cool. Eg.
module TextMix
def double_metaphone
Text::Metaphone.double_metaphone(self)
end
...
end
class String
include TextMix
end
And while not exactly in the same category, it might be close enough --
maybe add Dresner which is simply:
str.gsub(/\B\w+\B/){$&.split(//).sort_by{rand}}

Very cool. Thanks. I had a couple of these in separate libraries.
This is nice.
