Extract text from VXML files
To convert your VXML file to another format, you need Notepad++ or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Voice Markup Language" file type, you need software like Notepad++ or a similar tool.
A .VXML file contains Voice Extensible Markup Language code, an XML-based standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for building interactive voice response (IVR) applications. Think of it as HTML for telephone systems; instead of displaying visual content, it dictates synthesis (Text-to-Speech), audio playback, and recognition of spoken or DTMF (touch-tone) inputs. Users typically encounter these files when managing telephony infrastructure or debugging voice apps on platforms like Genesys or Nuance.
The primary frustration with .VXML files is that they are technically plain text instructions, not playable audio files. You cannot simply double-click a .VXML file to hear the dialog; it requires a specialized VoiceXML browser or gateway to interpret the tags and render the audio. Furthermore, legacy IVR systems often use proprietary tags that break standard XML parsers. To review the logic, debug the flow, or archive the script without needing an expensive IDE like Eclipse, the best workflow is to convert the file to TXT or XML for universal readability, or PDF for documentation and sharing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VXML file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ARMX, PUHS and SOURCES files.
If you want to convert VXML file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Notepad++ or similar software from the "IVR Dialog Scripting" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to VXML, try Notepad++ or another comparable tool in the "IVR Dialog Scripting" category.
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 VXML converter.
