What is RTA file?
The RTA file has been categorized as Data Files. The creator of this file is IBM. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. IBM Voice Type Languages Vocabulary Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

It was released by IBM.
How to open RTA file?
The main problem with IBM Voice Type Languages Vocabulary Format is that the RTA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RTA 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 RTA 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 RTA with IBM Voice Type. Below is a list of programs that support the file RTA.
Programs to open RTA file
Remember to download programs supporting RTA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with RTA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RTA 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RTA file with the IBM Voice Type application.
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 Vocabulary Format 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 RTA 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:
The RTA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RTA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 RTA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RTA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RTA 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.
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 RTA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RTA 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 RTA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
