How to open P2A file?
An often recurring problem with IBM Voice Type Languages Vocables is that P2A is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that P2A 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 P2A 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
In this case, you should first verify that the IBM Voice Type application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IBM Voice Type in it. 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 P2A files.
Programs to open P2A file
Remember to download programs supporting P2A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with P2A files
If, despite the installed application, the P2A file does not start in the IBM Voice Type application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IBM Voice Type application as the default for handling the P2A file.
Step 3. Update IBM Voice Type to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IBM Voice Type program with the IBM Voice Type Languages Vocables file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P2A file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the P2A file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file P2A or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P2A files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of P2A 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular P2A 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 file P2A 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move P2A to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the P2A 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.
