Cheque Helper turns any amount into correctly written words — in English and in Chinese banker's numerals (大寫) — and puts it straight onto a printable cheque. Built for small businesses, accountants, clerks, and anyone who writes cheques or fills in official amounts: type 1234.56 and instantly get "One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Four Dollars and Fifty-Six Cents Only" and 壹仟貳佰叁拾肆元伍角陸分. No guessing, no mistakes, no arguments about whether 105 is 一百零五 or 一百五. WHY IT'S TRUSTWORTHY • A deterministic, hand-tested wording engine — not AI, not autocorrect. The same amount always produces exactly the same words. • The printed figures and the printed words are generated from one validated source, so they can never disagree. • A mandatory confirmation step makes you check figures against words before a cheque can be printed. AMOUNT IN WORDS • English wording in US style ("no and") or UK style ("One Thousand and Five Pounds") • Chinese 大寫 in Traditional or Simplified script, with 元/圓 and 整/正 options and currency prefixes (港幣, 人民幣, …) • 10 currencies: HKD, USD, CNY, GBP, EUR, SGD, CAD, AUD, JPY, INR — including Indian-style figures (12,34,567.89) • Amounts up to 999,999,999,999.99, with strict validation — never silently rounded • Works with Siri and Shortcuts, and as an instant App Clip CHEQUE WRITING & PRINTING • Live cheque preview: payee, date, figures box, both wording lines, "A/C Payee Only" crossing • Print via AirPrint on plain paper, or use Overlay Mode to print the values directly onto a real bank cheque leaf • Overlay calibration: pick your bank, print an alignment grid onto a void leaf, and nudge the position in half-millimetre steps • Cheque templates in classic Hong Kong and modern minimal styles HISTORY & PRIVACY • Recent conversions saved on device — or use Private Mode to save nothing • Your amounts, payees, and cheques never leave your device. No account. No analytics of your financial data. FREE AND PRO Cheque Helper is free, supported by ads — but your first 10 uses are completely ad-free, no strings attached. A single one-time purchase (no subscription, ever) removes all ads permanently and unlocks Pro: extra cheque templates, PDF export and sharing, and unlimited history. Writing and printing cheques is never paywalled. Write it once, write it right.
