number_conversion

For use with num2words (pls install)

• num2words converts numbers to their alphabetic form
• it only handles numbers, i.e you can't pass it a text document that includes numbers and text
• use this lib to do just that, it will convert a text document with numbers in to just text
• I make the assumption that 4 digit numbers i.e 1978 between 1500 and 2100 are dates, otherwise I treat stuff as regular numbers
• my use-case if for prepping ASR training datasets where you typically don't want numbers in there numeric form
• won't work for weird edge cases
• WiP

import number_conversion

text = "it is the year 2022 and this is a 2test string"
