How to open VMO file?

An often recurring problem with Siemens Voice Memo Format is that VMO is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VMO 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 VMO 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 vmo2wav

The first step is to check if the computer has the vmo2wav program installed. This can be achieved by typing vmo2wav 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 VMO with vmo2wav. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VMO files.

Programs to open VMO file

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

Step 2. Create association of vmo2wav with VMO files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VMO file to open in the vmo2wav application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 VMO file with the vmo2wav application.

Step 3. Update vmo2wav to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the vmo2wav program, it is possible that Siemens Voice Memo Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The VMO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VMO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VMO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VMO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VMO file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VMO files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VMO 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VMO 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VMO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VMO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
