The 18 file extension is associated with several IBM software applications and modules. It is a text-based data file, which contains metadata and information that is compiled and collected by the Voice Type Language Scripts Data program, and saved in a plain text format. This data helps to store an individual's voice sets and preferences used for automated voice recognition processes.
Usage
The 18 files are mainly used to store a person's individual profile settings for any automated systems that are powered through the IBM software suite. These files are used to store audio files, text language configurations, and voice samples that allow the system to be tailored to the individual's pronunciation or enunciation of words. This data is usually referred to as the ‘Passport’ database, and is used to authenticate users of the system.
Similar Extensions
Some other file extensions related to the 18 file are: pwdx, .vp6, awcc, .pt6, .hit. These files are all data formats that are related specifically to Voice Type Language Scripts Data.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .18) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .18 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .18 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .18 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .18 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .18 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .18 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .18 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .18 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .18 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
