What's a more formal phrase for “in words”? [on hold]
I'm trying to describe the following table whose purpose is to convert a score into a phrase.
I have the following options so far:
Figure D illustrates how quality scores are described in words.
Figure D illustrates how quality scores are described in textual form.
Figure D illustrates how quality scores are described textually.
Figure D illustrates how quality scores are translated into text.
Given this is a formal document, the phrase "in words" seems far too colloquial. What are some good alternative phrases / sentences?

You might use "verbal rather than numerical" as a contrast: Numerical score...........Verbal score.

Would you mind elaborating on why the question was closed as off topic for future reference? Specifically, I’m not sure how I’m “choosing a name for software things”.

How can words be colloquial? It's a perfectly good description of a grammatical function and it's used in many rigorous, formal, and academic texts.
