Write numbers out in words
Cheques, contracts, and formal documents often require a number spelled out — "one thousand two hundred" rather than 1,200 — to remove any ambiguity. Doing it by hand for large numbers is surprisingly tricky. This tool converts a figure into its full English words, correctly handling thousands, millions, and the small joining words.
How to use it
- Enter the number.
- Read it written out in words.
- Copy it into your document.
Where it's needed
- Writing the amount on a cheque.
- Stating figures unambiguously in a contract.
- Formal or legal text where numerals alone won't do.
Questions people ask
Does it handle decimals and currency? It spells the whole number; for money, write the main amount and add the fractional part as cents or decimals as your format requires.
