Frequently asked questions
How large a number can it handle?
It parses cardinal numbers up to the millions, combining millions, thousands, hundreds, tens and units.
Does it understand 'and' and hyphens?
Yes. 'One hundred and twenty-three' and 'forty-two' both work. The word 'and' is ignored and hyphens are treated as spaces.
Is it case-sensitive?
No. Capitalization and extra spaces do not matter, so 'FORTY Two' and 'forty two' both give 42.
What happens with words it does not recognize?
It reports an error rather than guessing, so you know the input was not a valid number in words.
Is this the reverse of spelling a number out?
Yes. It is the inverse of the number to words tool, turning written words back into digits.
