The FSG file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FSG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FSG file on each system platform.
What is FSG file?
The file with the extension FSG is the Data Files file type. It was designed by IBM. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. IBM Voice Type Languages Map Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The IBM Voice Type application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IBM.
How to open FSG file?
The most common problem when using IBM Voice Type Languages Map Format is that a specific FSG is not associated with the program. This causes the file FSG 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 FSG 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IBM Voice Type 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. 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 FSG.
Programs to open FSG file
Remember to download programs supporting FSG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with FSG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FSG file to open in the IBM Voice Type 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FSG file with the IBM Voice Type application.
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 Map Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FSG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The FSG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FSG file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FSG file. Sometimes virus-infected FSG 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 FSG files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FSG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FSG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FSG file to another location will fix the problem.
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.
