What is an HSZ file?

HSZ files mostly belong to HansaWorld. The HSZ file is a compressed archive with two distinct uses.

Handheld Dictionary: In one case, the file is used to store a compressed handheld dictionary developed by HansaWorld. This archive contains language data meant for portable dictionary applications.

Holter ECG Data: In another case, the file holds compressed data from a Holter electrocardiogram device. Here, the archive is built using the 7z format and is associated with the 7-Zip tool, used for storing heart monitoring data.

FilExt.com tip: It is important to use the correct software corresponding to the file's origin to open and view its contents properly.

How do you open HSZ files?

You need a suitable software like HansaWorld to open an HSZ file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your HSZ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a HSZ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

HSZ file format details:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our examination of the HSZ files comes to the following conclusion:

HSZ is seldom used as a file extension and covers different formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 55% of all HSZ files use ZIP compression, i.e. an HSZ file contains several compressed files. A typical number of included files is 3. File names inside are always correct_1.png, correct_homography_info_1.json and db_info.json. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. The files are on average 1 MB in size and range from 570 KB to 3 MB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. db_info.json. Such files sometimes refer to kanten and saiten.
• 20% of all HSZ files internally utilize the 7z file format. 7z is a compressed archive file format that supports several different data compression, encryption and pre-processing algorithms. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are often between 26 MB and 84 MB in size.

The remaining 25% of all HSZ files are files with no common format, often e.g. LZW. Sometimes used for uint. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your HSZ file!
