Very easily using my FEX submission num2words:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47221-number-to-words

Easy to use, plus options for customizing the format, case, scale, sig-figs, etc:

>> num2words(0)
ans = 'zero'
>> num2words(1024)
ans = 'one thousand and twenty-four'
>> num2words(-1024)
ans = 'negative one thousand and twenty-four'
>> num2words(1024, 'pos',true, 'case','title', 'hyphen',false)
ans = 'Positive One Thousand and Twenty Four'
>> num2words(1024, struct('type','ordinal', 'case','sentence'))
ans = 'One thousand and twenty-fourth'
>> num2words(1024, 'and',false, 'order',1) % round to the tens.
ans = 'one thousand twenty'
