How to open BVI file?
The main problem with IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser is that the BVI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BVI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BVI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install IBM Voice Type
In this case, you should first verify that the IBM Voice Type application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IBM Voice Type in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BVI.
Programs to open BVI file
Remember to download programs supporting BVI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with BVI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BVI file still does not use the IBM Voice Type program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BVI file with the IBM Voice Type application.
Step 3. Update IBM Voice Type to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IBM Voice Type program, it is possible that IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BVI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BVI file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BVI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BVI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BVI files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BVI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IBM, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BVI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BVI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BVI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
