How to open 18 file?
An often recurring problem with IBM Voice Type Languages Scripts Data is that 18 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 18 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 18 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the IBM Voice Type program installed. This can be achieved by typing IBM Voice Type into the operating system search engine. 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 18.
Programs to open 18 file
Remember to download programs supporting 18 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with 18 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 18 file to open in the IBM Voice Type application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 18 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fault may also lie with the IBM Voice Type program, it is possible that IBM Voice Type Languages Scripts Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the IBM page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 18 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The 18 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 18 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 18 file. Sometimes virus-infected 18 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 18 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 18 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 18 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move 18 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 18 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
