Type a number to see it in international, Indian, rupee and Hindi form, or paste words such as "बारह लाख पचास हज़ार" to get the digits. It all happens on this page.
Up to 18 digits, with or without commas. Digits after the decimal point become paise.
Live rates, with the converted amount written out too. Only the currency codes are sent to the rate service, never your number.
Paste a column from Excel or Sheets, or load a .csv or .txt file. Up to 5,000 lines.
| Number | In words |
|---|
English or Hindi is detected for each line. Lakh, crore, million and billion all work, as do "point", "minus", rupees and paise.
| Words | Number | Indian commas | International commas |
|---|
Five readings of the same number, so you can pick the one your form or cheque asks for.
Commas, spaces and a leading minus sign are fine. The Indian and international comma layouts appear as you type.
International words, Indian words, rupees and paise in English, and both of those again in Hindi.
Change the case, copy to the clipboard, or have your browser read it aloud to double-check a cheque.
India groups digits in twos after the first three. The rest of the world groups in threes.

A lakh has 5 zeros, a crore has 7, an arab has 9 and a kharab has 11.
Use the rupees row. It ends in "Only" so nothing can be added after the amount. The Hindi rupees row works for cheques written in Hindi.
In the plain word rows they are read one by one after "point". In the rupee rows they are rounded to two places and written as paise.
Some offices still type Hindi in the Kruti Dev 010 font instead of Unicode. The button converts the Hindi words to that encoding so you can paste them straight into such documents. Check the first result in your own document before relying on it.
It understands English and Hindi number words, including lakh, crore, million and billion, hyphens such as "forty-five", and endings like "Rupees and Fifty Paise Only". If a word is not recognised it tells you which one, so you can fix a typo.
No. Converting runs in your browser. The only network request is the optional currency rate lookup, which sends the two currency codes and nothing else.
Eighteen digits before the decimal point, which is up to 999 padma in the Indian system or 999 quadrillion in the international one.
