Installation

To install OVOS Number Parser, use:

pip install ovos-number-parser

Usage

from ovos_number_parser import (pronounce_number, pronounce_ordinal,
                                extract_number, is_fractional, is_ordinal,
                                numbers_to_digits)

pronounce_number(123, "en")            # 'one hundred and twenty three'
pronounce_number(4.5, "pt")            # 'quatro vírgula cinco'
pronounce_number(21, "de")             # 'einundzwanzig'
pronounce_number(3, "en", ordinals=True)  # 'third'
pronounce_ordinal(5, "de")             # 'fünfte'

extract_number("set a timer for twenty one minutes", "en")   # 21
extract_number("one hundred and one dalmatians", "en")       # 101
extract_number("dos mil veintitrés", "es")                   # 2023
extract_number("einundzwanzig Katzen", "de")                 # 21
extract_number("hello world", "en")                          # False

is_fractional("half", "en")            # 0.5
is_ordinal("third", "en")              # 3

numbers_to_digits("set a timer for five minutes", "en")
# 'set a timer for 5 minutes'

Grammatical gender is supported for languages that inflect numerals:

from ovos_number_parser.util import GrammaticalGender

pronounce_number(2, "pt", gender=GrammaticalGender.FEMININE)  # 'duas'
