The Open Document Text filename extension format is an alternative open source document and text processing file format allowing users to create text documents that can be opened and edited by an extensive list of document processing applications. Both proprietary applications (such as in Microsoft Office word) and open source document processing applications (such as OpenOffice) support the .odt filename extension allowing for interoperability between software systems. The format is useful to those creating documents meant to target a wide audience and not necessarily an audience with a specific document processing suite. The extension was first released in 2005.
The .tcr filename extension is a compressed text file format for eBooks and text associated with eBook reader software developed by Psion, a London based techonology company. The format has its beginnings in the early 90's and was designed for use on the PDAs released by the company, particularly the Series 3 handheld PDA. Though the format is proprietary and was intended for exclusive use on Psion devices, today, a few eBook reader applications can open files encoded in this format. As PDAs eventually lost there popularity, the format was discontinued when Psion eventually pulled out of the PDA market.

Extended from an XML based file format for documents, .odt was standardized as an open source format for text document processing in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 in 2005 by the OASIS consortium. The filename extension is primarily associated with Apache OpenOffice Suite. As a format, .odt supports several predefined and user customizable metadata fields such as document statistics, title, subject etc. It possesses advanced document processing capabilities such as lists, headings, and numbered paragraphs. Other features include auto generated tables such as bibliographies, indexes, and table of contents.
The TCR format boasted of better compression of files saved in this format in comparison to its closest rival at the time, PalmDoc. The format is an adaptation of the ZVR text file viewer format developed for Psion, but incorporates the compression algorithms used in the TCReader program which was faster than that used on the ZVR format. The company claimed a 50% on average saving in memory storage after compression to TCR.
