Extract text from Proofing dictionaries (DICPROOF)
To convert DICPROOF dictionaries to another format, you need Microsoft Office or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Dictionary Settings File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Office or a similar tool.
The .dicproof file is a proprietary Microsoft Dictionary Proofing File. It is primarily used by Microsoft Office applications to store custom spelling dictionaries, grammar exceptions, and auto-correct rules.
It is generated and managed in the background by programs like Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. The biggest disadvantage of this format is its closed ecosystem. It locks your carefully curated custom dictionary into Microsoft products. You cannot natively import a .dicproof file into Google Docs, LibreOffice, or alternative text editors without extraction.
Users typically need to convert these files to plain TXT or CSV to migrate their custom word lists to other software. Standard online converters fail to process it because it is an internal application settings file, not a standard document format.
This file format is difficult to open or convert directly. Emphasize that often only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded text format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DICPROOF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MP4, BIN and EVTX files.
If you want to convert DICPROOF file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use Microsoft Office or similar software from the "Custom Spelling Dictionary Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to DICPROOF, try Microsoft Office or another comparable tool in the "Custom Spelling Dictionary 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 DICPROOF converter.
