The BNF file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BNF files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BNF file on each system platform.
What is BNF file?
The BNF file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is IBM. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. IBM Voice Type Languages Map is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use IBM Voice Type to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open BNF file?
The most common problem when using IBM Voice Type Languages Map is that a specific BNF is not associated with the program. This causes the file BNF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BNF 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. To do this, enter the name IBM Voice Type into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BNF.
Programs to open BNF file
Remember to download programs supporting BNF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with BNF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BNF 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BNF file with the IBM Voice Type program.
Step 3. Update IBM Voice Type to the latest version
If, however, after binding IBM Voice Type with IBM Voice Type Languages Map there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 BNF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The BNF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BNF 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 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BNF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BNF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BNF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BNF 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 BNF 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. Copying the BNF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BNF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
