Convert legacy audio files (VOC) online for free
The converter easily converts your VOC audio files to various formats - free and online. No VLC Media Player or or other Audio software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Digital Voice Recorder Audio" formats to VOC without using software like VLC Media Player or a similar tool.
The .VOC file extension primarily represents either a Creative Voice audio file or an RCA Digital Voice Recorder file.
Originally developed by Creative Labs in the early 1990s for their Sound Blaster sound cards, standard .VOC files store digital audio using uncompressed PCM or compressed ADPCM data. A secondary, distinct variation of the .VOC format is used by legacy RCA digital voice recorders (such as the RCA RP5120) to store low-bitrate voice memos and dictations.
The main disadvantage of the .VOC format is its obsolescence. It is a highly proprietary, legacy format. Modern web browsers, smartphones, and default operating system players like Apple Music or Windows Media Player will fail to play these files natively. Sending a .VOC file to a client or colleague guarantees playback frustration, as they will likely be prompted to hunt for obscure 90s audio drivers or legacy software just to listen to a simple recording.
To make the audio accessible, conversion is mandatory. For universal playback, web sharing, and mobile compatibility, convert your .VOC files to MP3 or M4A. If you are archiving the audio and want to prevent any further generational quality loss, convert it to a lossless format like WAV or FLAC. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing software.

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 VOC converter.
