How to open ZCN file?

The main problem with OmniPage Data is that the ZCN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ZCN 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 ZCN 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 OmniPage

In this case, you should first verify that the OmniPage application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OmniPage in it. 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 ZCN files.

Programs to open ZCN file

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

Step 2. Create association of OmniPage with ZCN files

If, despite the installed application, the ZCN file does not start in the OmniPage 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 ZCN file with the OmniPage program.

Step 3. Update OmniPage to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the OmniPage program, it is possible that OmniPage Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nuance Communications, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZCN 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 ZCN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ZCN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZCN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZCN 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 ZCN 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZCN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nuance Communications, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZCN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ZCN file to another location will fix the problem.
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 ZCN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
