Does not convert numbers containing word and

[Chaitanya-Jadhav]

This is a very great package. And I appreciate all the hard work.

s = 'I want five hundred and sixty six rupees'
alpha2digit(s,lang='en')
returns 'I want 500 and 66 rupees'

But the desired output is following:
'I want 566 rupees'

Please suggest any option or work around to make this work efficiently.
Thank You.

Thanks for the feedback!
How would you write, in plain letters and punctuation, a legitimate "500 and 66 rupees"? I mean, how one can make the difference, in plain letters, between "566 rupees" and "500 and 66 rupees."? So that we can implement some heuristics.

Thank you for the package.

@rtxm Where is the rust version?

[rtxm]

it's being prepared for release… 😉

[rtxm]

There it is @ralphmapper : https://crates.io/crates/text2num

@rtxm Will this be implemented in the Python version as well?

Running into the same issue, @ffeldhaus did you found a solution?

[ffeldhaus]

I'm using a small LLM now either as fallback or instead of text2num.

Ok thanks for the info
