What is LSQ file?
The file in the LSQ format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is IBM. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. IBM Voice Type Languages Addword appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. 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 LSQ file?
An often recurring problem with IBM Voice Type Languages Addword is that LSQ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LSQ 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 LSQ 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the IBM Voice Type program installed. 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LSQ files.
Programs to open LSQ file
Remember to download programs supporting LSQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with LSQ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LSQ file still does not use the IBM Voice Type program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IBM Voice Type application as the default for handling the LSQ file.
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 Addword file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LSQ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LSQ 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LSQ file. Sometimes virus-infected LSQ 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 LSQ 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LSQ 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 LSQ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LSQ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LSQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
