About the Number to Words Converter

The number to words converter reads the digits you type and spells them out in English. Whole numbers use the short scale, so a billion is a thousand million, up to vigintillion for 66 digits. Tens and units are joined with a hyphen, as in thirty-four. The American style leaves out "and" (one hundred five) and the British style puts it after the hundreds and before a last group under 100 (one hundred and five, one thousand and one). In the Indian system the groups after the first three digits are pairs, so 100,000 is one lakh and 10,000,000 is one crore, and the tool supports up to 13 digits there. A decimal point is read as point, followed by each digit on its own, so 2.50 is two point five zero. Ordinals change only the last word, so 21 becomes twenty-first and 100 becomes one hundredth. Currency mode names the dollars, euros, pounds or rupees and the cents, pence or paise, and check mode writes the cents as a fraction over 100, as in one thousand two hundred thirty-four and 56/100 dollars. Amounts with more than two decimals are rounded half up to the cent and the tool tells you. Commas are accepted only when they group the digits in threes, so a European 1.234,56 is rejected instead of being misread. The spelling was compared with a widely used Python library on tens of thousands of numbers, including every number up to 3,000. Nothing you type is uploaded.
