What is M1C file?

The file in the M1C format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by IBM. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is IBM Voice Type. This was created by IBM.

How to open M1C file?

The most common problem when using IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser is that a specific M1C is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that M1C files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M1C 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. This can be achieved by typing IBM Voice Type into the operating 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 M1C files.

Programs to open M1C file

Remember to download programs supporting M1C files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with M1C files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the M1C file still does not use the IBM Voice Type program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the M1C file with the IBM Voice Type program.

Step 3. Update IBM Voice Type to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the IBM Voice Type program, it is possible that IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the IBM page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the M1C file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The M1C file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to M1C files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the M1C file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover M1C files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the M1C 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair M1C 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 M1C files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the M1C file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the M1C file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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.
