A silly, hacky mash-up that might upset some Cupertino/Mountain View folks, but I think its a creative silly, hacky mash-up.
set myNumber to text returned of (display dialog ¬ "Enter number as text:" buttons {"Continue…"} ¬ default answer "" default button 1) tell application "Google Chrome" activate open location "https://www.google.com" end tell delay 5 say "ok google.

Requirements
