What is a QCP file?

QCP files mostly belong to Qualcomm PureVoice Player. A QCP file is a Qualcomm PureVoice audio file that uses the RIFF container format. It is designed for voice recordings and uses the QCELP codec to compress speech data efficiently.
Key Details summarized by FilExt.com:

File Structure: Built on the RIFF format, similar to a WAV file.

Primary Use: Used mainly for voice recordings in telecommunications.

Codec: Employs the QCELP codec for encoding voice audio.

Playback: Typically requires Qualcomm PureVoice Player for proper playback.

Additional Info: More details can be found at Qualcomm.

FilExt.com note: If conversion or wider playback support is needed, consider using a tool that converts QCP files to more common formats like WAV.

QCP file format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the QCP files:

An QCP file mainly uses a special format. But the following two file formats are common:

96% of all QCP files are QualComm PureVoice files, which are using the popular RIFF file format. RIFF files store data in tagged chunks. There are primarily used to store multimedia such as sound and video. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. QCP files can be up to 3 MB in size, but are often around 6 KB - 200 KB. This file type was primarily in use more than 10 years ago. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as QLCMfmt, vrat, RIFF, data and Qcelp 13K. These files are attributed to record, voice, callrecord, atchley, laugh, orban and audio.

All the rest of the QCP files (4%) have different formats. If you want to find out what your QCP file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
