Open LPC File

LPC file extensions can have a couple different purposes, primarily related to software development. These files are often associated with either Linear Predictive Coding or LucasArts' Localisation Resource Format. This article will explore these functions, the appropriate software needed to open these files, and pointers on how to best utilize them.

Linear Predictive Coding and LPC Files

Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) is a tool used in audio signal processing, where the spectral envelope of a digital signal is estimated by linear prediction. LPC can reduce the amount of data needed to represent a speech signal, while maintaining a level of detail, making it a valuable tool in the areas of audio compression and voice recognition. More about Linear Predictive Coding can be found here.

LPC file extensions are often connected to this tool. These are typically raw LPC data files that can be opened and edited by software like Praat, a free computer software package for the scientific analysis of speech. More information about Praat and how to download it can be found here.

LucasArts and LPC Files

LPC files can also be used with LucasArts games. These are localization files, which contain the text for the game in a specific language, making it possible to release the game in different language markets. LucasArts has a multitude of famous games such as the Monkey Island series, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and many more. Expansive list of LucasArts games with corresponding websites can be found here.

To open and edit these types of LPC files, you can use ResidualVM, a cross-platform 3D game interpreter which allows you to play LucasArts' Lua-based 3D adventures. More about ResidualVM here. Be aware that editing these files without permission may infringe on LucasArts' or other parties' rights.
