Extract text from WriteItNow documents (WTT)
To convert WTT documents to another format, you need WriteItNow or other Text software.
To convert other file formats to the "Word Processing Document" file type, you need software like WriteItNow or a similar tool.
.WTT files are specialized document containers used to store writing projects, chapters, and character notes. They are primarily created by WriteItNow, a popular novel-writing program by Ravenshead Services, or the minimalist Write! text editor by HamsterCoders.
The main disadvantage of the .WTT format is that it is strictly proprietary. Standard word processors like Microsoft Word or web browsers cannot open these files. This creates a severe lock-in effect. If you do not have a paid license for WriteItNow, or if you need to send a manuscript to an editor, your text is completely inaccessible. Standard online converters fail to process .WTT files because they lack the specific parsers needed to read the proprietary XML structure.
To share or edit your work elsewhere, you must convert the file to DOCX, TXT, or PDF. Converting to these universal formats guarantees that anyone can read the text, though you will lose software-specific features like chapter navigation trees and character databases.
Since these files are extremely difficult to open outside their native environments, users often struggle to recover their work. Fortunately, .WTT files are structurally built as ZIP archives. Our system can inspect the embedded archive and extract the readable text without requiring the original expensive software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WTT 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 WTT converter.
