You could do this:

NSString * threeString = @"three";
NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterSpellOutStyle;
formatter.locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSNumber * stringNumb = [formatter numberFromString:threeString];
int threeInt = [stringNumb intValue];
NSLog(@"ThreeInt: %i", threeInt);
