About ONT files

The .ONT file is a specialized data module used by theWord, a popular free Bible study application. It functions as a text database, storing the complete contents of a Bible translation, encompassing both the Old and New Testaments. To properly view and interact with these files, users must install theWord by Costas Stergiou on a Windows environment. The format relies heavily on a highly specific software ecosystem, which creates significant disadvantages. If you share an .ONT file with someone who does not have the software installed, their computer will not know how to open it. Furthermore, while the file itself is technically structured as plain text with one verse per line, it contains proprietary inline markup tags - such as <FI> for italics - that make reading the raw file messy and frustrating in standard editors. To make the text readable outside of this specific software, converting the .ONT file into universally recognized formats like TXT, RTF, or DOCX is the best solution. Be aware that converting the file may leave behind some of the raw formatting tags, requiring manual cleanup using 'Find and Replace' tools. Because .ONT is a niche, application-specific module, standard online converters usually fail to process it. Our tool can identify the file format, inspect the plain-text internal structure, and help you extract the underlying text whenever possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ONT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
