Convert SoftMaker dictionaries (SOX) online for free
The converter easily converts your SOX dictionaries to various formats - free and online. No SoftMaker Office or other Data software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Dictionary Archive" formats to SOX without using software like SoftMaker Office or a similar tool.
The .SOX file extension primarily operates as a Hunspell spell checker dictionary utilized by SoftMaker Office. Internally, these files are standard ZIP containers holding plain-text DIC (word lists) and AFF (affix rules) files. Secondary, less frequent uses include structural compound index files for Microsoft FoxPro 7 and Medisoft (Azalea Health), or compiled solution files for the Servoy RAD platform.
The primary disadvantage of the .SOX format is its rigid association with specific parent applications. Because these files function as backend system components - such as spell-check resources or database query accelerators - they cannot be opened natively by web browsers or standard text editors. Standard online converters fail to process them because they misinterpret the obscure .sox extension as an audio format or reject it outright. Furthermore, database index variants are proprietary binaries that are useless without their parent DBF data files.
The most practical conversion target for a dictionary .SOX file is standard text. You can extract the embedded DIC and AFF files to edit the dictionary entries manually. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform analyzes the internal file signature. If it detects the underlying ZIP structure of a SoftMaker dictionary, you can easily inspect and extract the contents without installing the full office suite.

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 SOX converter.
