Kanverter is a simple app for converting between English and Japanese large numbers. In the English, large numbers are counted in 3 digit groups (thousands, millions, billions...) while in Japanese and Chinese large numbers are counted in groups of 4 digits, starting at 10,000. This makes it difficult for people dealing with these large numbers to convert mentally.
This app is meant for people either learning Japanese as a second language, or people learning English coming from Japanese.
For further information on the need that this app aims to solve, view this wikipedia article on Japanese numbers.

This app should also be helpful to learners or speakers of Chinese.
