About this converter
The Indian system groups digits as 12,34,567 and names them thousand, lakh and crore; the International system groups in threes and names them thousand, million and billion. Both readings are shown side by side, which is handy for cheques and contracts. One lakh is 100,000 and one crore is 100 lakh, or ten million, so 2.5 crore is 25 million. Numbers up to 13 digits before the decimal point are supported, which covers everything below 10 trillion. Digits after the decimal point are read out one by one, as in “twelve point four five”, and a minus sign is read as “minus”. The words are generated on your device from the digits you type, so long amounts are spelled exactly without rounding.
