Extract text from Encrypted Bible texts (ONTX)
To convert ONTX Bible texts to another format, you need theWord or other Encoded software.
To convert other file formats to the "Encrypted Bible Module" file type, you need software like theWord or a similar tool.
The .ONTX file is an encrypted data module used exclusively by theWord Bible Software. It stores copyrighted Bible texts, translations, commentaries, and dictionaries. Software developers use the .ONTX format to protect premium theological content with Digital Rights Management (DRM).
This format has severe disadvantages for everyday users. It is a proprietary, closed ecosystem. You cannot open .ONTX files in standard e-readers, web browsers, or plain text editors. The encryption requires a specific user license and the native application to read the text. Users often want to convert these modules into standard, open formats like TXT, EPUB, or PDF for reading on mobile devices or alternative software like e-Sword.
Converting an .ONTX file is notoriously difficult due to its encryption. Standard online converters fail because they cannot bypass the DRM protection. Often, only the original theWord software can properly read or export the data if your license explicitly allows it. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ONTX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 ONTX converter.
