Besides soundex and other libraries, that take two words and determine whether they are similar, is there any way to find the most similar sounding word from WordNet, for a given word? I tried to use autospell as a well to correct the spelling, but unable to get the desired results.

You could use e-speak to convert your words into a phonetic alphabet. What you can also do is use fuzzy-matching. Here is a nice blog post about this.
