Extension: INK
Program and/or Extension Function [What's This?]		Company [What's This?]
Tablet PC Digital Ink File		Microsoft Corporation
Specific Notes [What's This?]
On Tablet PCs, a digitizer overlain on the LCD screen creates an electromagnetic field. When the pen comes in contact with the screen's electromagnetic field, its motion is reflected on the screen as a series of data points. These electromagnetic pen events are then represented visually on the screen as pen strokes. The inking process gives users the choice of converting the handwritten data to standard text through handwriting recognition. Users can also preserve the data in its ink format. Some Pocket PCs also produce this file type. Later versions of Microsoft Word on a PC should be able to open the file. Recommended: Find INK errors now.

Ink Markup Language File		W3C
Specific Notes [What's This?]
InkML supports a complete and accurate representation of digital ink. In addition to the pen position over time, InkML allows recording of information about device characteristics and detailed dynamic behavior to support applications such as handwriting recognition and authentication. For example, there is support to record additional information such as pen tilt and pen tip force (often referred to as "pressure") and information about the recording device such as accuracy and dynamic distortion. InkML also provides features to support rendering of digital ink captured optically to approximate the original appearance. For example, stroke width and color information can be recorded. InkML provides means for extension. By virtue of being an XML-based language, users may easily add application-specific information to ink files to suit the needs of the application at hand. Creator code on the Macintosh is TEXT. Recommended: Find INK errors now.

Intkey Startup Configuration File		DELTA Authors
Specific Notes [What's This?]
Intkey is an interactive program for identifying a specimen by comparing its attributes with stored descriptions of taxa. The program can also be used to interrogate the stored data. Intkey can access its data and image files over the Internet. To do this, the data-set index file (see Introduction in the Intkey on-line help) or a link in a Web page must point to a special startup file, with extension (type) .ink or .intkey. The startup file tells Intkey where the data set and its associated images are to be found, and the name of the initialization file to use. Recommended: Find INK errors now.

System Info for File Extension .INK

FILExt has been given permission to display the file extension database produced by the Associate This! program. Some of that data has already been included into the main FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Data collected by FILExt on registered file extensions from user systems is also in the display. Be aware this is raw data which may require further research on your part to fully understand. In particular, look at the Program ID. Often a company will put the program's name into the short ID that Windows uses to open registered file extensions. If that's not the case, look at the complete path to the EXE file. Often, programs will install themselves into directories that give either the program or company name. The program name itself may also be used as the EXE file name. These listings are particularly important since they represent listings that are in actual use by users who have sumbitted data to FILExt and therefore these listings can point you to the most likely candidate should there be multiple entries in the FILExt main database.

Program Name and MIME Type Info for File Extension .INK

FILExt has been given permission to display a Program Name/MIME type database collected by Anthony R. Nemmer. Some of that data has already been included into the main FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Be aware this is raw data which may require further research on your part to fully understand. MIME type listings often contain the name of a program or, at a minimum, a type of file as the leading text in the MIME type.

General Info

• If the extension you are looking for is of the form .??_ the file is likely a compressed file and part of an install routine. When the install program runs it will expand the file and replace the underscore with the proper letter for the file type.
• If the file is sent as an audio file with any three-character extension it may be a dictation file where the extension is the dictator's initials; playable by BCB Voice Systems software (see ??? extension). The file could likewise be a dictation file in TrueSpeech format. Use Windows Sound Recorder and/or Media Player to play these back.
• If the extension you are looking for has a number at the end or is only a number and there were no results consider entering the same extension format using zero or one as some programs produce numbered split files but when the split can be extensive (e.g., .000-.999) only the first entry is in the database.
