Extract text from TASCAM track marker files (TMK)
To convert TMK track markers to another format, you need TASCAM Recorders or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Audio Metadata File" file type, you need software like TASCAM Recorders or a similar tool.
The .TMK file is a data file primarily used by TASCAM digital audio recorders to store track markers. These files contain timecodes, cue points, and metadata corresponding to specific timestamps within an associated audio recording. Alternatively, the extension is used as a TimeMarks file in transcription software like TranscriberAG and tools from audiotranskription.de.
The biggest disadvantage of the .TMK format is its obscurity. Users frequently confuse it for an actual audio file, but it contains zero audio data. Because it is highly specialized, standard media players and common audio editing suites will fail to read it natively, leaving users unable to access their crucial timestamp data without the original hardware or specialized linguistic annotation software.
The most practical solution is converting the .TMK file to universally readable text formats. Because 90% of these files are encoded in standard UTF-8, the best target formats are TXT or CSV. Converting to CSV allows you to open the timecodes directly in spreadsheet software for easy logging and editing.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is tightly integrated into proprietary hardware workflows. If our analysis detects the supported UTF-8 underlying format, you can easily extract your timestamp data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TMK 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 TMK converter.
