Yeah, that was my reaction also.
When you do try text it can't interpret ("eleventy-seven", "dozen"), nil is returned.
It would seem like one could thus do a fairly easy scheme of locating numeric words in arbitrary text, then grouping consecutive numeric words, then resubmitting the groups for conversion to numeric values.
Combine with spellcheck, and stir.
