How to open P3C file?

The main problem with IBM Voice Type Languages Newuser is that the P3C file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that P3C files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P3C 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. To do this, enter the name IBM Voice Type 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 P3C with IBM Voice Type. Below is a list of programs that support the file P3C.

Programs to open P3C file

Remember to download programs supporting P3C files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with P3C files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P3C file still does not use the IBM Voice Type 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P3C file with the IBM Voice Type program.

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 Newuser 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 P3C 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the P3C file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the P3C file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P3C 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 P3C 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P3C file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P3C files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the P3C 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the P3C file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
