The JAWS application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Freedom Scientific, Inc..

How to open JSH file?

The most common problem when using JAWS Script Header Format is that a specific JSH is not associated with the program. This causes the file JSH 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 JSH 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 JAWS

In this case, you should first verify that the JAWS application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JAWS in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JSH with JAWS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JSH files.

Programs to open JSH file

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

Step 2. Create association of JAWS with JSH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JSH file still does not use the JAWS 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 JAWS application as the default for handling the JSH file.

Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version

If, however, after binding JAWS with JAWS Script Header Format 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 Freedom Scientific, Inc. page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to JSH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JSH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JSH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JSH 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JSH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Freedom Scientific, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JSH 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JSH file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the JSH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JSH file again. 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.
