Extract text from audio and game files (WOV)
To convert WOV audio files to another format, you need Cakewalk or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Waveform Overview Cache" file type, you need software like Cakewalk or a similar tool.
The .WOV extension is most frequently associated with Cakewalk Waveform Overview files, generated by DAW software like Cakewalk (formerly by Roland/Gibson, now BandLab) or potentially Steinberg WaveLab. These are RIFF-formatted helper files that store the visual "peak" data of an audio track, allowing the software to draw waveforms quickly without re-scanning the original audio source. Crucially, these files typically do not contain the actual audio data, meaning they cannot be converted to MP3 or WAV in the traditional sense; they are cache files that can be safely deleted and will regenerate.
However, ambiguities exist: a significant minority of .WOV files are character export data from the game Mount & Blade: Warband or save states from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Rarely, it may be an actual audio format from iFlytek. For Cakewalk users, the solution is to locate the original source audio (usually WAV) rather than the .WOV cache. For gamers, these files are strictly for internal game use. Identify your specific file type instantly by dropping it here.

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 WOV converter.
