About BMK files

The .BMK extension serves multiple technical roles, most commonly acting as a Dictation Bookmark File generated by Philips SpeechExec. In this context, the file does not contain audio itself but acts as a metadata sidecar for DSS, DS2, or WAV recordings, storing timestamps, priority flags, and instruction comments added by authors for transcriptionists. Users often struggle with these files because they are proprietary binary or XML-based pointers that appear meaningless without the expensive SpeechExec suite. Opening them in a standard text editor reveals only garbled code or raw XML structure, making the embedded notes inaccessible to standard users.

A secondary but significant use is for Disk Benchmark Results created by ATTO Disk Benchmark. These are XML files containing raw read/write performance data. While useful for analysis, sharing raw XML is unprofessional for client reports. Users typically need to convert these .bmk files to CSV or Excel for graphing, or PDF for finalized documentation. Legacy uses also include mobile browser bookmarks from Nokia Series 40 devices and MovieMark files from PowerDVD. For all these variations, the primary goal is extracting the readable data - timestamps, URLs, or speed metrics - into universal formats like TXT or CSV.

The BMK Converter Story

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 BMK converter.
