Extract text from EIT files
To convert your EIT file to another format, you need Interwrite Workspace or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Interactive Lesson Presentation" file type, you need software like Interwrite Workspace or a similar tool.
The .eit file extension typically denotes an Interwrite Workspace presentation file, a format used by educators to create interactive whiteboard lessons. These files are proprietary containers - often structurally similar to ZIP archives - that package slide layouts, images, annotations, and interactive elements into a single lesson plan.
A significant difficulty for users is the legacy nature of the format; eInstruction (now part of Turning Technologies) software is required to natively edit them, and distributing these files to students or colleagues who lack the software renders the content inaccessible. Furthermore, the interactivity embedded in .eit files is often lost during conversion, creating a trade-off between accessibility and functionality.
For general distribution and archiving, the best practice is converting these lessons to PDF or flat images (JPG/PNG), which ensures the visual content can be viewed on any device without specialized software.
Note: This extension is also used for Electrical Impedance Tomography data by medical devices like the Dräger PulmoVista. These are raw binary data logs used for lung monitoring and require specialized scientific software like EIDORS or MATLAB for analysis, rather than standard document conversion.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EIT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MLF, ATP and EBK files.
If you want to convert EIT file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use Interwrite Workspace or similar software from the "Interactive Whiteboard Lesson" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

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 EIT converter.
