Letter to Number Converter: Quick and Accurate

What Does This Tool Do?

Use this letter to number converter to map letters to numbers. A equals 1, Z equals 26. The tool reads each character in your text. Letters turn into their alphabet position. Case makes no difference.

You can choose how the result looks. Pick one of these formats:

• Detailed shows each character with a label like A = 1.
• Numbers only lists only the numbers for letters.
• Sum of all numbers adds all letter values into one total.

Non letters still appear in Detailed output. Spaces show as "(space)". Symbols and digits get the label "(not a letter)".

How It Works

Step 1: Enter Your Text

Type your input in the field labeled Enter text. Use a word, a phrase, or a full sentence. The tool reads every character from left to right.

• Letters A to Z are valid and map to 1 through 26.
• Uppercase and lowercase letters produce the same numbers.
• Spaces are allowed and appear as "(space)" in Detailed.
• Digits and symbols can be typed, they get flagged or skipped based on format.
• Accented letters like é count as non letters in this tool.

Step 2: Hit Convert

Select a format from the Conversion format menu, then click Convert. You can also press Enter to run the conversion.

• Detailed (A = 1) shows a mapping for each character in order.
• Numbers only shows just the numbers for letters, separated by commas.
• Sum of all numbers shows the total of all letter values, plus the breakdown.

Pick the format that fits your task. Use Numbers only for quick copy and paste. Choose Detailed for teaching or review. Select Sum for totals in names or words.

Step 3: Read the Result

The output appears under a Result label. Here is how to read it for each format.

• Detailed: You see entries like "H = 8". A space shows as "(space)". A symbol looks like "! = (not a letter)".
• Numbers only: You see values like "8, 5, 12, 12, 15".
• Sum of all numbers: You see "Sum of all letter values: 52", then the full math in parentheses.

Quick examples for clarity:

• Input "ABC" with Detailed returns "A = 1, B = 2, C = 3".
• Input "Hello" with Numbers only returns "8, 5, 12, 12, 15".
• Input "Hello" with Sum of all numbers returns "Sum of all letter values: 52 (8 + 5 + 12 + 12 + 15 = 52)".
• Input "2024" with Numbers only shows "No letters found in the input".

Notes and limits

• The tool uses the English alphabet from A to Z.
• Case does not change the value of a letter.
• Detailed marks spaces and non letters with clear labels.
• Numbers only and Sum skip characters that are not letters.
• The tool reads characters one by one, in order.
