Extract text from Clicker vocabulary sets (CLKV)
To convert CLKV Vocabulary sets to another format, you need Clicker Communicator or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "AAC Application Data File" file type, you need software like Clicker Communicator or a similar tool.
The .clkv file is a proprietary Vocabulary Set file used exclusively by Clicker Communicator, an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app developed by Crick Software. These files store customized communication grids, which include words, phrases, localized images, and voice settings designed to help individuals with speech or language impairments communicate on devices like iPads.
Because .clkv is a highly specific, closed application format, it presents significant disadvantages outside of its native ecosystem. It is proprietary, cannot be opened by standard web browsers or word processors, and requires access to the specific Clicker Communicator application to view or edit the interactive grids. Users often need to convert these files to PDF or DOCX to print static communication boards for offline use, or to share layouts with teachers and therapists who do not own the app.
Standard online converters fail to process .clkv files because they lack the complex logic required to translate proprietary grid coordinates and interactive speech triggers into standard document layouts. This file format is difficult to open or convert, and often only the original software can properly read or export the data. We can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Many proprietary app files are actually renamed archives containing standard XML and image data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible, allowing you to salvage the raw vocabulary text and pictures.

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 CLKV converter.
