Abstract

The Kaṭapayādi system of encoding numbers as words by replacing each digit by a character was developed in ancient India. We present a web-based system that for conversion to and from the Kaṭapayādi numbering scheme. It can both decode a word into its corresponding number, and can encode a number into word(s).
