Free Words to Number

NToolHub’s Words to Number tool does the reverse of check-writing: type a number spelled in English and get the digits back. It understands hyphens, the word and, and scales from hundred to million, making it perfect for digitizing written amounts, parsing text, or double-checking documents. Results appear formatted with thousands separators.
