Extract text from Voice and PCB files (DRA)
To convert DRA files to another format, you need Dragon NaturallySpeaking or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Speech Data / PCB Drawing" file type, you need software like Dragon NaturallySpeaking or a similar tool.
The .DRA file extension serves two entirely different purposes depending on your software ecosystem. Most commonly, it functions as a proprietary speech recognition data file or temporary voice recording generated by Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Nuance Communications). In electronic engineering contexts, a .DRA file is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) component footprint drawing used by Cadence Allegro and OrCAD.
Dealing with .DRA files is frustrating because they are highly proprietary and rigid. Dragon .DRA files are often temporary, bloated cache files saved in a Microsoft Compound format. They cannot be played by standard media players like VLC because they contain acoustic metadata rather than standard audio streams. Allegro .DRA drawing files require expensive, specialized electronic design automation (EDA) software to open, meaning you cannot easily share them with clients or manufacturers.
If you need to recover audio from a Dragon .DRA file, you should convert it to standard WAV or MP3 for universal playback. For PCB drawings, convert the .DRA file to a PDF or standard Gerber format for viewing and manufacturing. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DRA converter.
