Extract text from Template files (UTT)
To convert UTT Templates to another format, you need ALi Editor or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Firmware Image" file type, you need software like ALi Editor or a similar tool.
The .utt file extension represents a convergence of three distinct technical use cases, creating frequent confusion for users.
In approximately 70% of cases, a .utt file is a firmware update package for digital satellite receivers and set-top boxes running on chipsets manufactured by ALI Corporation. These files are binary system images used to flash device memory, update channel lists, or patch system software.
The Problem: Users typically encounter these files when attempting to unbrick a receiver or manually update software via USB. Because they are proprietary binary blobs, they cannot be opened in standard text editors or viewers. Attempting to force-open them in Word will result in garbled text.
The Solution: For channel list editing, these files can sometimes be converted or viewed using specific utilities like ALi Editor. For archiving or transfer, they are often renamed or converted to BIN or ABS formats depending on the specific receiver model.
In financial contexts (approx. 11%), the .utt file acts as a User Template for trading platforms like VertexFX Trader or AmiBroker. Unlike the firmware version, these files are structured XML documents that define chart layouts, indicators, and user workspace preferences.
The Solution: Since these are text-based XML files, they are highly convertible. You can change the extension to XML or TXT to view the raw code in Notepad++, or convert them to PDF for documentation purposes.
A smaller subset (6%) relates to the Edinburgh Speech Tools (Festival System). Here, the .utt (Utterance) file contains linguistic analysis data - such as phonemes, duration, and pitch contours - used to synthesize speech. These are best converted to WAV audio files using the Festival engine.

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 UTT converter.
