What is Words to Number?
A parser that reads English number words and returns the numeric value, handling scales (thousand/million/billion), hyphens, and 'and'.
How it works
Words are tokenized and evaluated with the standard scale algorithm: accumulate hundreds/units within each scale group, then multiply by the scale word.

Examples
Parsing written amounts
Turn 'two million three hundred thousand' into 2,300,000 — or clean up a voice transcript's spelled-out figures.
Common mistakes
Misplaced multipliers
'One hundred thousand' is 100,000, while 'one hundred and thousand' is not valid English number phrasing — the parser handles the standard forms.
Frequently asked questions
What phrasing is accepted?
Standard English number words with 'and' between hundreds and tens (two hundred and five) are both accepted and normalized.
Can it parse decimals in words?
Yes — 'three point one four' converts to 3.14.
