IntegerName threads itself over elements of lists:

Avoiding digits:

By default, a combination of digits and words would be used:

Get only the first few digits in the name:

Using only words:

A language can be specified:

It also works with entities:

Get the cardinal form:

Get the ordinal form:

A gender can be also specified:

The years can also be represented:

A country can be used to get local representations:

A writing script can be used to get alternate representations when available:

Language may be specified as an option too:

Properties & Relations  (4)

The default string type is "DigitsWords":

For very large integers, "DigitsWords" and "Words" fall back to approximate forms:

Interpreter can convert the output of IntegerName back to an integer:

IntegerString gives strings of digits in different bases:

These are suitable for further machine processing:

IntegerName gives human-readable strings:
