To begin just choose whether you want to convert from Roman numerals or from Arabic numerals and then type in your year and the corresponding value will appear. There are preferences for choosing how large numbers appear, enabling autocorrection and for choosing which order the roman numerals appear in on the keyboard.

LARGE NUMBERS:
Historically there have been multiple ways of writing numbers larger than 4000. The number 5000 can be written as V with a bar above it, as IↃↃ, or even V M. In this version of Roman Numerals, large numbers will automatically appear with a bar over them, but can also can be written as IↃↃ if you choose to enable them in the settings.
