International millions vs Indian lakh/crore
The converter spells cardinal numbers in English. International scale uses thousand, million, billion. Indian scale uses lakh and crore. Pick the system that matches the invoice or cheque you are filling.
Checks, contracts, and accessibility
Written amounts reduce digit transposition when a PDF reader or a printer mangles numerals. This is not a legal-amount validator and it does not add currency names unless they are already in the input. Roman numerals are a different encoding—use the Roman converter for outlines and clock faces.
Decimals, lists, and size limits
A paste can contain more than one number; each numeric token is expanded. Fractional handling is approximate English (“point …”), not accounting rounding. Extremely large integers may be truncated with the rest of the paste. Nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Does it write amounts for US checks?
It spells the number. You still add the currency and “and xx/100” conventions your bank expects.
What is the Indian numbering option?
It groups by lakh (10⁵) and crore (10⁷) instead of million and billion, which matches many invoices in India.
Will it convert ordinals like 21st?
The focus is cardinal spelling of digit sequences. Ordinal suffixes may remain attached; review the output.
