I don't have the code but I think I should do this way :
Let's take the exmaple of "12427956"
1) cut your number in groups of 3 digits : each group will be associated with a "multiplier" (leftest group may contains less tha 3 digits) :
- 1st group from right (956): no multiplier
- 2nd group from right (427): thousands
- 3nd group from right (12): millions
- ....

2) Threat each group separatly the same way going from the leftest group to the rightest this way :
- take the first digit (if present), write it's literal value (here : nothing).
- take the 2 last digits (if present), write their literal value (here : "twelve&quot.
- write the multiplier (here "millions&quot

Hope that it'll help.
