This is a common problem in VXML, converting spoken words to text. In
fact, since there is so much more variation in spoken language than in
written language (due to accent, tone of voice, quality of voice,
etc.) it's harder.
Construct a hash using all known variables as keys to convert into
numeric values:
{ one => 1,
two => 2,
hundred => 00,
}
and so on. Be care of variations like 'fifteen hundred' vs. 'one
thousand five hundred'.
