For the standard classes (article, report, book) you can use the starred version of \chapter which suppresses the number but also the TOC entry, so you hav to add it manually with \addcontentsline
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{Introduction}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\chapter{Chapter 2}
\end{document}
or with KOMA-Script (scrartcl,scrreprt,scrbook) which provides \addchap for this case (and \addsec of sections):
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\addchap{Introduction}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\chapter{Chapter 2}
\end{document}
I don’t know about memoire’s behavior when using \chapter
Here's one possibility using the \Numberstring command from the fmtcount package to turn the number to its text string; the tocloft package was used to add the word "Chapter" before the chapter number in the ToC:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{fmtcount}
\renewcommand\thechapter{\Numberstring{chapter}}
\setlength\cftchapnumwidth{3em}
\renewcommand\cftchappresnum{Chapter~}
\newlength\mylen
\settowidth\mylen{\bfseries\cftchappresnum\cftchapaftersnum} % extra space
\addtolength\cftchapnumwidth{\mylen}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test Chapter}
\end{document}

Short answer: put the following code before
\begin{document}.Change
\Numberstringinto\numberstringif you don't want the number name capitalized.A longer answer requires more information from you, that you can add to your question.
A quick solution would be also
but this will have some consequences on the typesetting of the Table of Contents (but also of headers). Choosing a strategy depends on the actual needs (and also on the class used).
