My checklist
Before I trust the result, I check:
- Enter the number.
- Convert it to Indonesian words.
- Check large values carefully.
- Add currency wording only if the document needs it.
- Compare the words with the numeric amount.
- Be careful with decimals and cents.
- Review formal documents manually before sending.
A small tool is most useful when it makes the work visible and easy to verify.
