Indian style: thousand, lakh, crore

Indian amounts are grouped as 1,00,000 (one lakh) and 1,00,00,000 (one crore), not in millions. This tool always writes words that way, so 12,34,567 becomes Twelve Lakh Thirty-Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Seven.

Paise are written after “and”, and the line ends with “Only”, which is how banks expect a cheque to be filled.

Hindi and other Indian languages

Numbers from 1 to 99 have their own names in Hindi and most Indian languages (for example 45 is पैंतालीस, 67 is सड़सठ). The tool uses the full word list for each language, not a word-by-word guess.
