Extract text from Swim standards and recovery files (ST2)
To convert ST2 Data files to another format, you need HY-TEK MEET MANAGER or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Application Data File" file type, you need software like HY-TEK MEET MANAGER or a similar tool.
The .ST2 file extension is primarily used as a Swimming Meet Time Standards file by HY-TEK MEET MANAGER. Alternatively, it functions as a GDB Step2 Results File generated by Runtime GetDataBack data recovery software. In the swimming context, coaches and event organizers use the file to store qualification times and age-group standards. In the data recovery context, it stores the index of a scanned hard drive, allowing users to pause and resume file extraction without rescanning the disk.
These are highly specialized, closed-format files. This creates a major disadvantage for users who need to view or share the data: you cannot open an .ST2 file without an expensive license for the specific parent software. Standard operating systems and web browsers cannot read them. They do not contain standard media or readable text arrays.
Because they are proprietary, standard online converters fail to process them. If you need to share swimming times with athletes or parents, you cannot directly convert the .ST2 file online. You must open the file in HY-TEK and use its internal tools to export the data to PDF, CSV, or TXT.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because only the original software knows how to parse its proprietary database structure. However, convert.guru acts as a realistic workaround for file challenges. Just drag and drop your file to identify the exact format, inspect the raw data, and view internal text content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ST2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TSL, GEF, CMBL and ST1 files.

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 ST2 converter.
