Words to Number
Type a number written out in words to get its digit form back.
Overview
This is the reverse of Number to Words: given text like "twelve lakh thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven" or "one million two hundred thirty-four thousand," it parses the words back into the numeric value. The parser recognizes both the international scale words (thousand, million, billion) and the Indian scale words (lakh, crore) in the same input, so you don't need to pick a system first.
Examples & Sample Data
International
one million two hundred thirty four thousand five hundred sixty seven
1234567
Indian
twelve lakh thirty four thousand five hundred sixty seven
1234567
How It Works
- Type or paste the number in words.
- The numeric value appears instantly.
- Hyphens, "and," and mixed capitalization are all handled automatically.
Common Use Cases
Data entry cleanup
Convert a spelled-out amount from a document or form back into a usable number.
Verifying cheque amounts
Cross-check that a spelled-out amount matches the numeric amount on a cheque or invoice.
Tips & Best Practices
- Stick to one numbering system per input — mixing "million" and "lakh" in the same phrase isn't a standard construction and won't parse reliably.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The parsing runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
Text that doesn't parse as a valid number phrase (unrecognized words, malformed order) returns a clear error rather than a wrong number.
