Writing numbers out in words

This tool spells a number out in words — 1234 becomes “one thousand two hundred and thirty-four”.

Conventions differ between varieties of English, particularly around the “and” before the final part.

How to use it

Enter the number in digits and copy the written-out version.

Mind the separators: in English a comma groups thousands and a full stop marks the decimal point.

What it is useful for

Required on contracts, receipts and transfer forms where an amount has to appear in words as well as figures.

In prose, a written-out number is sometimes preferred too, for instance at the start of a sentence.

Frequently asked questions

Are decimals written out?

Whether and how decimal places appear depends on the input. Check the result carefully for monetary amounts.

Is there an upper limit?

Very large numbers produce very long strings. Verify that the output is complete in that case.

Are negative numbers supported?

A minus sign is read as a sign. Check the result if it is going into a form.
