How to open LXA file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Speech Lexicon Format is that LXA is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LXA 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 LXA 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 Microsoft Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Office is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Office in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LXA files.
Programs to open LXA file
Remember to download programs supporting LXA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with LXA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LXA file still does not use the Microsoft Office 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. 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 LXA file with the Microsoft Office program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office with Microsoft Speech Lexicon Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LXA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The LXA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LXA 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LXA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LXA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LXA 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LXA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, 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 file LXA 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move LXA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LXA file again. 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.
