What is a .DVC file?
The .DVC file extension is associated with a specific type of file known as an IDRISI Vector Definition File. This file is primarily used by the program Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which is a speech recognition software developed by Nuance Communications. The main purpose of a .DVC file is to store a collection of voice commands that a user can speak. Alongside these voice commands, the file also contains scripts that are executed when the commands are spoken.
These scripts are written in a special language designed specifically for use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. When a voice command is recognized by the software, the corresponding script can perform a variety of actions. For example, it can simulate keystrokes, open applications, select items on the computer screen, control the computer's mouse, produce sounds, and carry out other tasks to interact with the computer system.
To open a .DVC file, you would typically use Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking. However, it is important to note that Nuance Communications has discontinued Dragon NaturallySpeaking. If you have this software already installed, you can still use it to open and interact with .DVC files. If you do not have the software, obtaining it might be difficult due to its discontinuation, and finding an alternative that fully supports these specific files might also be challenging.
