Convert English number-words into digits — from "seven" up to "two billion one hundred million" and beyond, including decimals like "three point one four".
What it parses:
- Whole numbers:
one hundred twenty-three → 123
- Magnitudes: thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion
- "and":
one hundred and five → 105 (the "and" is treated as part of the hundreds group, common British/US usage)
- Decimals via "point":
three point one four one five → 3.1415 (each digit after "point" is read individually)
- Hyphens and case:
Twenty-One, twenty one, and twenty-one all work.
How it works:
- The tool finds the longest run of number-words in your input, evaluates it, and replaces just that run with digits. Surrounding text is left in place, so
"order sixty-four boxes" becomes "order 64 boxes".
- Decimal number output is a plain number (e.g.
142). With thousands separators adds locale grouping (e.g. 1,000,000).
Good to know:
- Numbers are parsed as integers where possible; "point" introduces a fractional part read digit-by-digit, matching how people dictate decimals out loud.
- If a run of words can't be parsed as a number, it's returned unchanged rather than producing garbage.
- Works on the English number-word system only. For digits-to-words, use a dedicated number-to-words tool.
