Yes! There are tools and libraries in both Python and Linux that can convert words describing numbers (e.g., "twenty-five" or "vingt-cinq") into their decimal equivalents. Here are some options:

Python Libraries

1. word2number

   • A Python library that converts words to numbers (e.g., "one hundred" → 100).
   • Supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and more.
   • Installation:
     bash

     Copy

     pip install word2number

   • Example Usage:
     python

     Copy

     from word2number import w2n
     print(w2n.word_to_num("twenty-five"))  # Output: 25
     print(w2n.word_to_num("vingt-cinq", lang="fr"))  # Output: 25 (French)

2. num2words (Reverse Functionality)

   • While num2words primarily converts numbers to words, some forks or extensions support the reverse.
   • Installation:
     bash

     Copy

     pip install num2words

3. Custom Solutions with NLP

   • For more complex or less common languages, you might need to use NLP libraries like spaCy or NLTK with custom rules.

Linux Command-Line Tools

1. num2words (CLI)

   • The num2words Python library can also be used as a CLI tool.
   • Installation:
     bash

     Copy

     pip install num2words

   • Usage:
     bash

     Copy

     echo "twenty-five" | python -c "from word2number import w2n; import sys; print(w2n.word_to_num(sys.stdin.read().strip()))"

2. Custom Scripts

   • You can write a simple Bash script that calls a Python script using word2number or similar libraries.

3. recode or iconv (Limited Use Case)

   • These tools are not designed for this purpose but can be used for text processing in some cases.

Example for French (or Other Languages)

If you're working with French, the word2number library is a great choice:

from word2number import w2n
print(w2n.word_to_num("cent vingt-trois", lang="fr"))  # Output: 123

Which One Should You Use?

• For Python: Use word2number for simplicity and multi-language support.
• For Linux CLI: Use a Python script with word2number or a custom Bash wrapper.
