Powershell is there an easy way to hide int 5 to line five or 68 to sixty-eight?

There is a great .NET library called Humanizer that can do just that. I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like there is a PowerShell for it . I suspect this will do exactly what you need.

This was asked about .NET / C #; you can put this in a class and use it Add-Type
in powershell to make this work.
.NET convert number to string representation (1 to one, two to two, etc.)
Maybe something like this (untested):
$class = @" public class Num2Word { public static string NumberToText( int n) { if ( n < 0 ) return "Minus " + NumberToText(-n); else if ( n == 0 ) return ""; else if ( n <= 19 ) return new string[] {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen"}[n-1] + " "; else if ( n <= 99 ) return new string[] {"Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety"}[n / 10 - 2] + " " + NumberToText(n % 10); else if ( n <= 199 ) return "One Hundred " + NumberToText(n % 100); else if ( n <= 999 ) return NumberToText(n / 100) + "Hundreds " + NumberToText(n % 100); else if ( n <= 1999 ) return "One Thousand " + NumberToText(n % 1000); else if ( n <= 999999 ) return NumberToText(n / 1000) + "Thousands " + NumberToText(n % 1000); else if ( n <= 1999999 ) return "One Million " + NumberToText(n % 1000000); else if ( n <= 999999999) return NumberToText(n / 1000000) + "Millions " + NumberToText(n % 1000000); else if ( n <= 1999999999 ) return "One Billion " + NumberToText(n % 1000000000); else return NumberToText(n / 1000000000) + "Billions " + NumberToText(n % 1000000000); } } @" Add-Type -TypeDefinition $class [Num2Word]::NumberToText(555)
No reason you couldn't write this as pure powershell, but it was already written!
