Your suggestion is good, and they could save it as a Word file, a Daisy file, a Braille file, and if she could get a copy of Kurzweil1000 she could take the *.KES file back into Kurzweil1000 and send the file directly from Kurzweil to the Book Port. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Allen" <wd8ldy@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 9:44 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: kurzweil woes! Hi Jeannette and list: Get them to save it to something like text, which then can easily be transferred onto the bookport. That also gets us back around to what I thought the subject of this list was?

But I never use kurzweil. I don't own the software myself because I'm poor and cheap, and usually I just grab stuff from bookshare. However, I got a bunch of books scanned in the copy center where I work (a small college) and they handed me a cd for each scanned book. When I plug it into my laptop, it comes up as a .kes software extension. I can't open that with anything and it won't transfer to bookport. I don't know if they used the wrong scanning software (I'm one of the first blindies to request services in a few eons I'm told) and I know nothing about kurzweil to save my own ass. I've read the manual a few times and I'm sure I'm missing something because everyone I know loves loves loves kurzweil. Does anyone have any idea what I should do, save google? If I google one more thing today I might have to gnaw on my arm. I'm all bookported out! - Jeanette
