Cheque Helper converts amounts into English words and Chinese financial numerals (大寫). Check the result, prepare a cheque preview, and print using AirPrint. AMOUNT CONVERSION • Choose from 11 currencies, including Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and Indian rupees (INR). • Select US or UK English wording, with optional Chinese wording in Traditional or Simplified script. • Review the amount in figures and words and confirm that they match before continuing. • Use Western or Indian digit grouping. Invalid or ambiguous amount formats are rejected. CHEQUE PREVIEW AND PRINTING • Add a payee and date, choose a cheque layout and preview the result. • Print on paper or use a nominal Hong Kong cheque overlay preset. Layouts vary by cheque and printer; calibrate and test on a void cheque before printing on a real cheque. • The app checks whether overlay text fits the selected fields and alerts you when it cannot safely fit. Some layouts do not include a Chinese amount field. HISTORY AND PRO • Save recent conversions on your device, or use Private Mode to stop saving new ones. • The free app includes 10 ad-free sessions for new users. A one-time Pro purchase removes ads and unlocks additional templates, PDF export and history without the free tier’s 50-record limit. History retention settings still apply; the default is 30 days.
