How to open AKT file?

An often recurring problem with Aksharamala Keymap Source is that AKT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file AKT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AKT 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 Aksharamala

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Aksharamala is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Aksharamala 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 AKT.

Programs to open AKT file

Remember to download programs supporting AKT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Aksharamala with AKT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AKT file to open in the Aksharamala 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Aksharamala application as the default for handling the AKT file.

Step 3. Update Aksharamala to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Aksharamala program with the Aksharamala Keymap Source 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 Srinivas Annam website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AKT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The AKT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AKT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AKT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AKT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AKT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AKT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Srinivas Annam, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AKT 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 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 AKT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AKT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AKT file again. However, some background programs may block the AKT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
