Programs to open 13 file
Remember to download programs supporting 13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with 13 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 13 file to open in the IBM Voice Type application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IBM Voice Type application as the default for handling the 13 file.
Step 3. Update IBM Voice Type to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IBM Voice Type program with the IBM Voice Type Languages Scripts Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 13 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The 13 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 13 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 13 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 13 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 13 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 13 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 13 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the 13 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the 13 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 13 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 13 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
