You can enter a number and it spells it out in words: e.g.
-12345 to "minus twelve thousand three hundred forty-five"

The classes it uses for conversion can be easily
cannibalised for your own applications, e.g. writing cheques
out in words.

for example:

String numStr = BritishEnglish.inWords(-1234);

will generate the string:

"minus one thousand two hundred four"

handles longs up to Long.MAX_VALUE, namely:
9,223,372,036,854,775,807

Useful to learn to count in a foreign language. The InWords
package classes are also useful for cheque writing or legal
documents.

You can run a batch test of any language with

java com.mindprod.inwords.Polish

where Polish is the name of the class handling the language you
want to test.

You can also run it as an Applet or a standalone GUI application.
