How to open SRI file?
The most common problem when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Audio is that a specific SRI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SRI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRI 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Dragon NaturallySpeaking application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Dragon NaturallySpeaking into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SRI files.
Programs to open SRI file
Remember to download programs supporting SRI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dragon NaturallySpeaking with SRI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SRI file still does not use the Dragon NaturallySpeaking program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SRI file with the Dragon NaturallySpeaking program.
Step 3. Update Dragon NaturallySpeaking to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking program with the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Audio file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Nuance Communications, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRI 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SRI file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SRI file. Sometimes virus-infected SRI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SRI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SRI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nuance Communications, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SRI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SRI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SRI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SRI 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.
