No, there is a *.kes repair utility in your "diags" folder you can run on it.
KESRepair: This program will attempt to recover pages of RTF data
from a damaged
KES file. KES files can be damaged in a way that makes it impossible for the
Kurzweil 1000 itself to open them. If you have a KES file that you cannot open,
move it to an empty folder. Run KESRepair, using a screen reader, and
active its
Open button. That will bring up a standard file open dialog. Use it
to locate the
damaged KES file, and open it. An analysis will then be done. If you
tab once, you
will be in a read only text box which will tell you how many pages
were found, and
how many were lost. Tab once more and you will be at an OK button.
Activate it, and
KESRepair will write an RTF file for each found page. The names of
the files will
be based on the name of the damaged KES file, followed by a space and
then a page
number. Next, use Kurzweil 1000 itself. Under the File menu you will
find a Utilities
menu item. This will open a sub-menu. Choose the Merge and Open menu
item. This will
bring up a file open dialog. Again, move to the appropriate folder.
Then select all
of the RTF files in this folder. The easiest way to do this is to tab
to the text
box in the file dialog, and enter *.rtf. A dialog will come up
allowing you to reorder
the files. You won't need to do this, so just press enter. It may
take a minute or two,
but the open file will contain all of the recovered pages. They will
probably, but not
certainly, be in the correct reading order, except, of course, for
the pages that
could not be recovered. Additional items like images, bookmarks,
notes, and hyperlinks
will be lost.

I hope this helps.

I have kurzweil V. 11. I scanned part of a book and am trying to
re-open it to continue scanning. It tells me it can not open the
file, as the format can not be determined. Do I have to rescan the
entire book or is there a way to fix it?
