How to open M4I file?

The most common problem when using IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser is that a specific M4I is not associated with the program. This causes the file M4I to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M4I 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open M4I files.

Programs to open M4I file

Remember to download programs supporting M4I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with M4I files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the M4I file to open in the IBM Voice Type application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the M4I 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The fault may also lie with the IBM Voice Type program, it is possible that IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser requires a newer version of the program. 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 M4I file

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

The M4I file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the M4I file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the M4I file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected M4I files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the M4I file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged M4I files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file M4I 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the M4I file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file M4I to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the M4I file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
