How to open DVC file?
The most common problem when using Dragon Voice Command Format is that a specific DVC is not associated with the program. This causes the file DVC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DVC 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 Dragon NaturallySpeaking
In this case, you should first verify that the Dragon NaturallySpeaking application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dragon NaturallySpeaking in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DVC with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DVC files.
Programs to open DVC file
Remember to download programs supporting DVC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon NaturallySpeaking with DVC files
If, despite the installed application, the DVC file does not start in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DVC file with the Dragon NaturallySpeaking application.
Step 3. Update Dragon NaturallySpeaking to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dragon NaturallySpeaking program, it is possible that Dragon Voice Command Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Nuance Communications, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DVC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DVC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DVC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DVC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DVC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DVC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nuance Communications, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DVC 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DVC file to another location.
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. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
