Amount in Words (Arabic)

Tafqit is writing the amount in words alongside the figure. The point is tamper resistance: altering a digit is easy, altering a written sentence bracketed by «فقط» and «لا غير» is not. That is why banks and official bodies require the amount in words.

Because in Arabic the numbers three to ten take the gender opposite the thing counted. ريال is masculine, so the numeral is feminine in form (ثلاثة ريالات); هللة is feminine, so the numeral is masculine (ثلاث هللات). This is exactly where other spellers go wrong, and this tool applies it in both directions.

It follows the last part of the number: ريال واحد, ريالان, ثلاثة ريالات, أحد عشر ريالاً, مئة ريال. The scale word declines too — ألف, ألفان, ثلاثة آلاف, أحد عشر ألفاً — and مئتان even drops its ن when it governs what follows, becoming مئتا ألف.

Yes, and it knows that the Kuwaiti, Bahraini and Jordanian dinar and the Omani riyal divide into a thousand minor units rather than a hundred. So 1.5 Kuwaiti dinars is written as one dinar and five hundred fils, not one dinar and fifty — a mistake some tools make.

The Jordanian dinar is divided into 10 dirhams, 100 qirsh and 1000 fils all at once, and everyday speech quotes qirsh — but written amounts carry three decimal places, in fils. A cheque for 1.500 JOD is one dinar and five hundred fils, not fifty qirsh.

Yes. It accepts ١٢٤٥٠٫٧٥ and 12,450.75 alike and normalises them before spelling. If you enter a fraction finer than the currency's smallest unit it rounds and tells you it rounded, rather than dropping it silently.
