What is OCR file?
The OCR file has been categorized as Text Files. It was designed by Nuance Communications. Additionally, the Text Files category contains 440 of other files. FAXGrapper Fax Text Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The TextEdit application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Apple, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. The Text editor, Windows Notepad programs will also handle the file when the TextEdit program does not fulfill its role.
How to open OCR file?
The main problem with FAXGrapper Fax Text Format is that the OCR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file OCR 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 OCR 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 TextEdit
The first step is to check if the computer has the TextEdit program installed. This can be achieved by typing TextEdit into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OCR with TextEdit. Below is a list of programs that support the file OCR.
Programs to open OCR file
Remember to download programs supporting OCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextEdit with OCR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OCR file still does not use the TextEdit program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OCR file with the TextEdit application.
Step 3. Update TextEdit to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TextEdit program, it is possible that FAXGrapper Fax Text Format 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 Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OCR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OCR 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 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 OCR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OCR 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 OCR files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 OCR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nuance Communications help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OCR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the OCR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OCR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OCR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
