In English, a myriad has come to mean an indefinite number. But it once was defined very clearly as 10,000. The numeral systems of China and Japan have continued to use the unit of 10,000, i.e. one hundred thousand is ten ten thousands. No matter what language you speak, it is difficult to convert between different exponential numerations on-the-go.

Suyak translates numbers back and forth between numeral systems, supporting English, Mandarin (Traditional & Simplified), Japanese, and Cantonese. The number is also fully spelled out for easy pronunciation — which can sometimes be useful even if it’s your native language!

An example for Japanese:

10,000
ten thousand
