Convert English to a number
Applescript
A silly, hacky mash-up that might upset some Cupertino/Mountain View folks, but I think its a creative silly, hacky mash-up.

set myNumber to text returned of (display dialog ¬
    &quot;Enter number as text:&quot; buttons {&quot;Continue…&quot;} ¬
    default answer &quot;&quot; default button 1)
tell application &quot;Google Chrome&quot;
    activate
    open location &quot;https://www.google.com&quot;
end tell
delay 5
say &quot;ok google. &quot; &amp; myNumber
delay 2
tell application &quot;System Events&quot;
    tell application process &quot;Google Chrome&quot;
        set fullURL to value of text field 1 of toolbar 1 of window 1
    end tell
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to &quot;=&quot;
display alert item 2 of text items of fullURL

Uses OSX text to speech to speak the text number, and google audio search to listen for it and convert it to an integer.
Requirements

OSX
Google chrome
speech-recognition enabled in your google account
volume turned up to a reasonable level

The delay timings may need to be adjusted depending on your chrome load time and google lookup time.
