About Convert Words to Numbers

This converter reads a number spelled out in English and writes it in digits. It adds up units, teens, and tens, multiplies by hundred, and closes each group at thousand, million, billion, or trillion. The word "and" and hyphens are ignored, "minus" or "negative" makes the result negative, and digits after "point" are read one by one. It handles whole numbers below one quadrillion and does not read ordinals such as "third" or fractions such as "one half".

How to use Convert Words to Numbers

  1. Type or paste into the "Numbers in words (one per line)" box, or press "Use example" to try it with sample data.
  2. Set "Add thousands separators" if the defaults do not fit.
  3. The result appears below and updates as you type.
  4. Copy the result with the copy button, or download it as a file where that is offered.

Questions about Convert Words to Numbers

Does it understand both British and American wording?

Yes for the common difference: "two hundred and five" and "two hundred five" give the same result, because the word "and" is skipped. Billion always means one thousand million, the modern meaning in both countries.
