How to open NWV file?
The most common problem when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking User Archive is that a specific NWV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NWV 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 NWV 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 Dragon NaturallySpeaking
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dragon NaturallySpeaking into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NWV with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NWV files.
Programs to open NWV file
Remember to download programs supporting NWV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon NaturallySpeaking with NWV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NWV file still does not use the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 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 Dragon NaturallySpeaking application as the default for handling the NWV file.
Step 3. Update Dragon NaturallySpeaking to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dragon NaturallySpeaking program, it is possible that Dragon NaturallySpeaking User Archive requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nuance Communications, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NWV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NWV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NWV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NWV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NWV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ability to automatically repair NWV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nuance help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NWV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NWV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NWV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NWV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NWV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
