The component works by splitting up each digit that is input. It includes the value of the digit and its position. Then it updates each digit to include its place value and period that it belongs to based on the position.
The collection is grouped by period (ones, thousands, millions,...). By English convention, numbers are read one period at a time:
Below are two hard coded tables. The first includes the word forms of digits for the 1s, 10s, and 100s. The second includes the names of each period.
