- Description
- The SCT file type, associated with Windows Scriptlet, is a script file format used by Windows Script Host. Scriptlets are small pieces of code written in languages supported by the Windows Script Host, such as VBScript or JScript. These script files can automate tasks, manipulate files and folders, and interact with system services on a Windows operating system. An SCT file contains XML-formatted data that defines the script's properties, references, and the script code itself.
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
