Number to Words Converter writes a figure out in English words. Enter 4382 and you get four thousand three hundred and eighty-two. It handles numbers up to the trillions, negative values and decimals, and it gets the hyphenation right, which is the part people most often get wrong when writing an amount by hand.

You can set the names of the major and minor units so it works for pounds and pence, dollars and cents, or rupees and paise alike.

An ordinal mode turns a number into its position form, so 21 becomes twenty-first. That is useful for dates, rankings and anywhere a list has to be read aloud. Both British and American conventions for the word and before the tens are offered, since the two differ and documents usually have to pick one.
