The short answer

Type a number and the tool writes it out in the Indian system. For example, 1,23,456 reads as One Lakh Twenty-Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Six. It uses lakh and crore, groups digits the Indian way, and can copy the words with one press.

Digits only. Commas, spaces and ₹ are fine. Use a dot for paise.
