How to use Convert Words to Numbers
- 1. Paste spelled-out numbers. Enter English number words into the input pane, one phrase per line, such as 'one hundred twenty-three' or 'two thousand and five'. Mixed capitalization and hyphens are handled automatically.
- 2. Read the parsed digits. Each line's spelled-out number is converted to its numeric form, so 'one hundred twenty-three' becomes 123. There are no settings to configure; parsing happens as you type.
- 3. Copy the numeric values. Copy the resulting numbers from the output pane and paste them into a spreadsheet, form field, or script wherever a numeric value is required instead of text.
When to use Convert Words to Numbers
Convert Words to Numbers parses English number words like 'two thousand and five' back into their numeric form, 2005. It is useful whenever text has numbers spelled out but you need them as actual digits for sorting, math, or data entry.
- Cleaning up transcribed voice or dictation text. A speech-to-text transcript writes amounts as words, like 'forty-five dollars', instead of digits. Convert the spelled-out quantities here before importing the transcript into a data pipeline.
- Parsing numbers out of legal or check documents. A contract or bank check spells out an amount in words as a legal safeguard, and you need the numeric equivalent to confirm it matches the digit amount printed elsewhere.
- Processing survey responses with written numbers. Respondents typed 'twenty-five' instead of '25' in a free-text age field. Run the responses through this tool to normalize them into numbers before analysis.
- Solving a word-problem style puzzle. A riddle or trivia question gives quantities spelled out in prose, like 'one hundred twenty-three' items. Convert the phrase to a number quickly to continue the calculation.
