How can I convert an integer into its verbal representation?
C#.Net.Net 3.5C# Problem Overview
Is there a library or a class/function that I can use to convert an integer to it's verbal representation?
Example input:
>4,567,788`
Example output:
>Four million, Five hundred sixty-seven thousand, seven hundred eighty-eight
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
Currently the best, most robust, library for this is definitely Humanizer. It's open sourced and available as a nuget:
Console.WriteLine(4567788.ToWords()); // => four million five hundred and sixty-seven thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight
It also has a wide range of tools solving the small problems every application has with strings, enums, DateTimes, TimeSpans and so forth, and supports many different languages.
Console.WriteLine(4567788.ToOrdinalWords().Underscore().Hyphenate().ApplyCase(LetterCasing.AllCaps)); // => FOUR-MILLION-FIVE-HUNDRED-AND-SIXTY-SEVEN-THOUSAND-SEVEN-HUNDRED-AND-EIGHTY-EIGHTH
Solution 2 - C#
if you use the code found in: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2729752/converting-numbers-in-to-words-c-sharp and you need it for decimal numbers, here is how to do it:
public string DecimalToWords(decimal number)
{
if (number == 0)
return "zero";
if (number < 0)
return "minus " + DecimalToWords(Math.Abs(number));
string words = "";
int intPortion = (int)number;
decimal fraction = (number - intPortion)*100;
int decPortion = (int)fraction;
words = NumericToWords(intPortion);
if (decPortion > 0)
{
words += " and ";
words += NumericToWords(decPortion);
}
return words;
}

Fully recursive version:
private static string[] ones = {
"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine",
"ten", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen", "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen",
};
private static string[] tens = { "zero", "ten", "twenty", "thirty", "forty", "fifty", "sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety" };
private static string[] thous = { "hundred", "thousand", "million", "billion", "trillion", "quadrillion" };
private static string fmt_negative = "negative {0}";
private static string fmt_dollars_and_cents = "{0} dollars and {1} cents";
private static string fmt_tens_ones = "{0}-{1}"; // e.g. for twenty-one, thirty-two etc. You might want to use an en-dash or em-dash instead of a hyphen.
private static string fmt_large_small = "{0} {1}"; // stitches together the large and small part of a number, like "{three thousand} {five hundred forty two}"
private static string fmt_amount_scale = "{0} {1}"; // adds the scale to the number, e.g. "{three} {million}";
public static string ToWords(decimal number) {
if (number < 0)
return string.format(fmt_negative, ToWords(Math.Abs(number)));
int intPortion = (int)number;
int decPortion = (int)((number - intPortion) * (decimal) 100);
return string.Format(fmt_dollars_and_cents, ToWords(intPortion), ToWords(decPortion));
}
private static string ToWords(int number, string appendScale = "") {
string numString = "";
// if the number is less than one hundred, then we're mostly just pulling out constants from the ones and tens dictionaries
if (number < 100) {
if (number < 20)
numString = ones[number];
else {
numString = tens[number / 10];
if ((number % 10) > 0)
numString = string.Format(fmt_tens_ones, numString, ones[number % 10]);
}
} else {
int pow = 0; // we'll divide the number by pow to figure out the next chunk
string powStr = ""; // powStr will be the scale that we append to the string e.g. "hundred", "thousand", etc.
if (number < 1000) { // number is between 100 and 1000
pow = 100; // so we'll be dividing by one hundred
powStr = thous[0]; // and appending the string "hundred"
} else { // find the scale of the number
// log will be 1, 2, 3 for 1_000, 1_000_000, 1_000_000_000, etc.
int log = (int)Math.Log(number, 1000);
// pow will be 1_000, 1_000_000, 1_000_000_000 etc.
pow = (int)Math.Pow(1000, log);
// powStr will be thousand, million, billion etc.
powStr = thous[log];
}
// we take the quotient and the remainder after dividing by pow, and call ToWords on each to handle cases like "{five thousand} {thirty two}" (curly brackets added for emphasis)
numString = string.Format(fmt_large_small, ToWords(number / pow, powStr), ToWords(number % pow)).Trim();
}
// and after all of this, if we were passed in a scale from above, we append it to the current number "{five} {thousand}"
return string.Format(fmt_amount_scale, numString, appendScale).Trim();
}
Current works up to the (short scale) quadrillions. Additional support (for larger numbers, or for the long scale) can be added simply by changing the thous variable.

Solution 7 - C#
I actually needed this for an app I'm working on, but wasn't happy with any of the solutions here. FYI, this solution takes advantage of C# 7.0's support for local functions. I also used the new digit separator to make the larger numbers more readable.

Solution 9 - C#
I was tasked to create a WEB API that converts numbers to words using C#.
Can be whole number or with decimal points in 48 hours time.
The call will be coming from a front-end application using Ajax Post method and return the converted result in the webpage.
I've publicly shared that project in the GitHub for reference: https://github.com/marvinglennlacuna/NumbersToWordsConverter.Api
With the following technical implementatation in placed:
- MVC structured
- API Controller
- Service
- Model
- Error Handling
- Unit Testing using MSTest
- Code Coverage - 98%
- Jquery
And with technical documentation about the following as well:
- Purpose
- Prerequisites
- Functionl Requirements
- Process Diagram and Output
**Result via Web Page (US-001) **
> US-001 Convert Numbers to Words via web page process
> US-001 Convert Numbers to Words via web page output
Result via Postman (US-002)
> US-002 - Convert Numbers to Words via Postman process
> US-002 - Convert Numbers to Words via Postman output
I think it's just worth sharing a working solution in the case you need it for reference in interview/code test/school or for fun only.

Solution that takes up less code.
The most important part is only couple lines:
static Func<long, string> remainder = t => t > 0 ? " " + ToEN(t) : "";
public static string ToEN(this long val, double d = 20, long th = 20)
{
switch ((long)d)
{
case 20: return val >= d ? ToEN(val, 1e2) : en[val];
case 100: return val >= d ? ToEN(val, 1e3, 100) : en[val / 10 * 10] + remainder(val % 10);
default: return val >= d ? ToEN(val, d * 1e3,(long)d) : ToEN(val / th) + " " + en[th] + remainder(val % th);
}

New Method April 2022: To Convert Integers to Words in C#
Although a late answer, but in case someone arrives to this page after googling.
I have written the following C# function NumIntToWords(String NumIn) that provides a simple, short, and efficient method of converting integer numbers to words in C# complying with the US English Grammar Rules.
The function uses my devised method of SLST (Single Loop String Triplet).
Unlike other methods I had seen used here and elsewhere, the function has the following features:
- Simple, short, and fast.
- It does not use switch/case statements.
- It does require the use of extra spaces in strings or trimming strings.
- It does not use recursion.
- It does not use math functions (only one math for creating the string triplet).
- You can simply increase scale beyond Trillion by a simple increase of the scale array without any additional coding necessary.
- It compiles into a very shortcode.
- No extra libraries.
I have opted for the integer number to be converted to be passed as a string so you can handle very large integer numbers easily.
You can use it like this:
Console.WriteLine( NumIntToWords("1991345678974"));
\\ Output:
One Trillion Nine Hundred Ninety-One Billion Three Hundred Forty-Five Million Six Hundred Seventy-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Four
