Extract text from WriteOnline WordBar files (AWBR)
To convert AWBR WordBar files to another format, you need WriteOnline or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Educational Vocabulary Data File" file type, you need software like WriteOnline or a similar tool.
The .AWBR file format stores WordBar vocabulary grids for WriteOnline, an educational accessibility tool. These files contain categorized lists of words designed to help students with writing tasks by providing a clickable, on-screen vocabulary bank.
Historically, these files are opened and managed exclusively using WriteOnline or its modern successor, DocsPlus, both developed by Crick Software.
The primary disadvantage of the .AWBR format is its highly proprietary nature. It is a closed ecosystem file that requires an active, paid educational software subscription to open. You cannot open it natively in mainstream word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, making it exceptionally difficult to share vocabulary lists with students or teachers who do not have the software installed.
Users typically need to convert .AWBR files to standard text formats like TXT, CSV, or DOCX to reclaim their vocabulary lists and use them in other applications. When converting to a standard text format, the visual tab layout and grid formatting are lost, but the core vocabulary text is preserved.
Standard online converters almost always fail to process .AWBR files because only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AWBR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert AWBR file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use WriteOnline or similar software from the "Vocabulary Grid Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to AWBR, try WriteOnline or another comparable tool in the "Vocabulary Grid Data Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AWBR converter.
