Which scale words are supported?

Hundred, thousand, lakh/lac, million, crore, billion/arab, trillion and kharab, plus all the units and tens (one to ninety-nine).

Does it support Indian lakh, crore, arab and kharab?

Yes. Both the Western system (thousand, million, billion, trillion) and the Indian system (lakh, crore, arab, kharab) are recognised, so figures from either convention parse correctly.

Are hyphens, commas and "and" ignored?

Yes. Hyphens, commas, and filler words like "and" and "only" are stripped before parsing, so "twenty-five thousand and fifty only" gives the same result as "twenty five thousand fifty".

How accurate is the parsing?

It uses a standard accumulator algorithm — small multipliers like "hundred" scale the current group, and large scale words flush the group into the running total. Unrecognised words are reported rather than silently ignored, so check the result if you used unusual phrasing.

What if I type a word it does not know?

The converter tells you the first word it cannot recognise instead of guessing, so you can fix a misspelling or unusual phrasing rather than trust a wrong number.

How is this different from a number-to-words tool?

This is the inverse: it takes words and returns digits. A number-to-words tool does the opposite, turning 150000 into "one hundred fifty thousand".

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The tool is privacy-first — all parsing happens locally in your browser and the text never leaves your device.

Words to Number Converter

Words to number converter

This tool takes a number written in English words and returns the digits — the inverse of a number-to-words converter. It is useful for transcribing cheques, invoices, and contracts, and for turning spoken or dictated figures into usable numbers.

How it works

The parser reads your words and accumulates a value. Small words and “hundred” build up the current three-digit group, and large scale words flush that group into the running total at the right magnitude. It understands both the Western system (thousand, million, billion, trillion) and the Indian system (lakh, crore, arab, kharab), so figures from either convention work. Hyphens, commas, and the filler words “and” and “only” are ignored, and any word it cannot recognise is reported rather than silently dropped.

Words	Digits
one hundred twenty-three thousand	123,000
one lakh fifty thousand	1,50,000 (150000)
three million	3,000,000
one crore	1,00,00,000 (10000000)

Example

Type “one hundred twenty-three thousand”. The parser forms 123 from “one hundred twenty-three”, then “thousand” multiplies it by 1,000, giving 123,000 — also shown as the plain number 123000 to copy.

It is privacy-first: nothing leaves your browser.
