AW to FTS conversion is the process of transforming files in the AW document format into the FTS document format so they can be opened, edited, or processed by software that requires FTS. This conversion re-maps AW structure, text encoding, and embedded assets into FTS equivalents while preserving layout and metadata where possible.

AW files usually have the MIME type audio/x-aw and are raw audio files used in specific recording applications. FTS files, with MIME type application/x-fts, are used in advanced audio processing and support compressed codecs for efficient storage. The conversion process handles codec compatibility and ensures integrity between formats.
The FTS (.FTS) format is commonly used for document. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like AW.
While specific technical details aren't available here, FTS files generally serve the purpose of storing document effectively within their domain.

AW files are typically raw audio recordings with limited compatibility, while FTS files offer enhanced functionality and wider support in professional environments. FTS format is preferred for streamlined editing and faster processing compared to the basic AW format.
Keep individual AW files under 200–300 MB for fastest, most reliable web-based conversion; larger files can be converted but may be slower or require a desktop tool.
To preserve layout and typography, choose the high-quality FTS export; enable 'embed fonts' if the AW file uses custom fonts.
For many files, use batch conversion and the 'merge into single FTS' option only if you want a combined document; otherwise convert individually to avoid large merged files.
Be aware that some AW-specific features (proprietary macros, advanced scripting, or tool-specific annotations) may not have direct FTS equivalents and could be flattened or exported as plain text.
