The hs file extension is generally related to Haskell programming language.
The hs file contains source code of an application, that is written in Haskell. These files are the same as the ones with lhs.
You can open and edit these files in any text editor.
Although you can technically "convert" Literate Haskell source code files much like any other text file, there is practically no reason to do it, as such conversions would be pointless.

HyperStudio is multimedia authoring software from Roger Wagner Publishing. A HyperStudio stack is an interactive presentation or learning project made up of cards or pages, with elements such as text, graphics, buttons, scripts and multimedia content.
The .hs file is the main stack file for the project. It brings the stack's cards and associated content together so that the project can be viewed and used in HyperStudio. The format is associated with the MIME types application/hyperstudio and application/hstu.
The format is proprietary to HyperStudio and is supported by the HyperStudio PC Edition for Microsoft Windows and the HyperStudio Mac Edition for Apple macOS and Mac OS X. It is not a general-purpose video format, despite sometimes being classified with digital video and movie files.
Open the .hs file in the HyperStudio edition for its platform. On Microsoft Windows, use HyperStudio PC Edition. On Apple macOS or Mac OS X, use HyperStudio Mac Edition.
Because the format is proprietary, general-purpose media players and standard document applications do not normally open HyperStudio stacks. If the stack was created on a different platform, the matching HyperStudio edition may be required for best compatibility.
Open the stack in HyperStudio and use that edition's save or export features, where available, to extract or republish its content.
If the stack cannot be opened by an available HyperStudio edition, its cards and multimedia content may need to be recreated in another authoring or presentation program. Converting the .hs file directly to a standard video format is not generally possible without first opening and playing back the stack.

The HS format is a proprietary Motorola file format associated with firmware and flex updates for Motorola mobile phones. A flex file typically carries device software customizations, such as settings or operator-specific features, rather than serving as a general-purpose document.
Motorola service applications such as PST and RSD can transfer an HS file to a compatible phone over a USB connection. The file is used as part of the phone-update process and is not normally intended to be opened or edited as text.
HS files are associated mainly with older Motorola phone service workflows. Whether a file can be applied depends on the phone model and the version of the service software.
An HS file is not normally opened directly. On Windows, use a compatible version of Motorola PST or RSD with the appropriate Motorola phone connected by USB.
Because the file can update phone software, use it only with the model and service procedure for which it was supplied.
HS files are proprietary phone-update packages and do not have a useful general-purpose conversion. They should be transferred to a compatible Motorola phone in their original form using Motorola PST or RSD.
Do not rename or edit the file as a way of converting it; obtain the appropriate update package for the target phone instead.
