The .p1i file extension is associated with IBM Voice Type, an IBM speech-recognition and dictation application for Microsoft Windows. The file stores data used for language and new-user setup within the software.
IBM Voice Type reads this proprietary file as part of its own data files. It is not a standard document or an interchangeable language format.
Open a .p1i file with IBM Voice Type on Microsoft Windows. The software normally reads the file from its expected installation or data location, so it may not provide a command for opening it manually.
If the file came from an old Voice Type installation, keep it with the other application files.
There is no practical general-purpose conversion for an IBM Voice Type .p1i file. It contains internal language and new-user data rather than user-authored content in a format designed for export.
The file should be retained for use by IBM Voice Type rather than converted directly.
