What is BPI file?
The file with the extension BPI is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is IBM. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. IBM Voice Type Languages New User appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The IBM Voice Type application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IBM.
How to open BPI file?
The main problem with IBM Voice Type Languages New User is that the BPI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BPI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPI 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. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BPI files.
Programs to open BPI file
Remember to download programs supporting BPI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with BPI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BPI file to open in the IBM Voice Type application, but you can set it manually. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BPI file with the IBM Voice Type program.
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 New User file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 BPI 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 BPI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BPI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BPI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BPI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BPI file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BPI 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BPI 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. If possible, you can try to move the BPI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
