Convert TXT to TCR

Understanding TXT and TCR file formats

TXT (Plain Text) files are simple, unformatted text documents that contain only basic characters without any special formatting or images. They are widely used for storing notes, code, and readable data due to their universal compatibility.

TCR (Psion Series 3 eBook) files are eBook files developed for Psion handheld devices. TCR files support basic formatting and are optimized for eBook readers, making them suitable for reading on older or specialized devices.
