Extract text from Audio and scan files (FDA)
To convert FDA Audio and scans to another format, you need Relic Entertainment Games or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Archive" file type, you need software like Relic Entertainment Games or a similar tool.
The .FDA file extension is primarily used by two distinct and highly specialized software ecosystems. In gaming, it acts as a Relic Chunky audio file (or game audio data archive) created by Relic Entertainment for PC strategy games like Dawn of War. In the medical field, it functions as a Topcon OCT scan file, storing complex ophthalmic imaging data generated by proprietary Topcon Corporation equipment. Other variations include MATLAB Filter Design session files, iGO Navigation driver alerts, and VALD ForceDecks archives.
These proprietary formats intentionally lock down your data. Game files are packed archives that standard media players cannot read. Medical scans require expensive, restricted clinical software like Topcon IMAGEnet to view patient data. MATLAB files are strictly tied to a costly software subscription. They represent a significant hurdle for users who simply want to extract a sound effect or view a medical image.
Because these formats are closed and proprietary, standard online converters consistently fail to process them. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. To convert Relic audio files to WAV or MP3, users rely on community-built modding extractors. Topcon files typically need original clinical workstations to export to standard DCM (DICOM) or JPG formats. While we cannot magically reconstruct proprietary medical data, our engine can inspect the file structure and show internal text strings. If our analysis detects a supported underlying format - such as the standard ZIP structure used in ForceDecks archives - immediate extraction or conversion is possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FDA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted WKZ, TEST and TST files.

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 FDA converter.
