What is a .TCR file?
TCR is a compressed-text e-book format from the Psion era.
- Did you know
- TCR was a simple compressed-text e-book format for early handhelds.
- TCR was created by Barry Childress for the Psion Series 3 palmtops, using a 256-entry dictionary to shrink the text.
- It was designed to beat the rival PalmDoc format on compression for memory-starved handhelds.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more document, ebook and publishing files: Scribus (.sla/.scd version, pages, fonts), MS Works and Windows Write, Word 97 templates (.dot), StarOffice 5.x binary docs, Shanda Bambook and Sony BBeB (.lrf/.lrx) ebooks, FrameMaker, document templates and legacy PageMaker.
- Depth of analysis
- .TCR is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .TCR file
- Drag a .TCR file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
