TCR to CUR conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the TCR (Psion/Symbian eBook) format into the CUR ebook/container format so the content and structure (text, chapters, metadata) can be read by applications that support CUR. This conversion maps TCR's plain-text and simple markup features into CUR's packaging and metadata fields while preserving ordering and pagination where possible.

TCR files are typically raw cursor resource files that store basic cursor data, while CUR files are widely supported cursor files with additional metadata such as hotspot information. CUR files offer better compatibility across operating systems and applications compared to TCR files, making them preferable for final use.
Keep individual TCR files under 5 MB for fastest, most reliable conversions; larger files may increase processing time and risk of memory issues.
To preserve quality, ensure TCR source uses UTF-8 or a well-documented character encoding; convert legacy encodings first if you see garbled characters.
For large libraries, batch convert groups of files in chunks (10–20 at a time) to avoid timeouts and to simplify error handling.
Note format-specific limitations: TCR stores simple markup and fixed pagination—complex layout, advanced styling, or embedded multimedia may not transfer intact to CUR.
