Free Numbers to Words Converter — Spell Out Any Number
Writing numbers as words is required in many formal contexts — cheques and financial documents must have amounts written in full, legal contracts must spell out monetary values, academic papers follow style guides requiring written numbers, and accessibility standards often prefer words over digits for screen readers. This free Numbers to Words Converter instantly converts any number to its full English text equivalent, supporting integers, decimals, ordinals, and currency formats.
Enter any number and choose your output format: cardinal (one hundred), ordinal (one hundredth), or currency (one hundred dollars and zero cents). The converter handles numbers from small fractions to quintillions with correct grammar and spelling.
Most style guides (APA, MLA, Chicago) require numbers below ten to be spelled out in running text. For numbers in formal financial documents, the written form acts as a fraud-prevention measure — it is much harder to alter "one thousand two hundred fifty dollars" than "1,250".
When to Write Numbers as Words
Cheques and financial documents. The written amount is the legally binding figure on a cheque. Banks reject or hold cheques where the numeric and written amounts differ.
Legal contracts. Monetary amounts, dates, and quantities in contracts must be spelled out to prevent alteration and ensure clarity.
Formal writing. Style guides require numbers one through ten (or one through ninety-nine in some styles) to be written out in running text.
Accessibility. Screen readers handle written numbers more reliably than digit strings in some contexts, particularly for phone numbers and complex numeric data.
