[Electronics-talk] Converting from .kwb to .txt

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
if you have a braille software like duxbury, this might open your kwb files.
Then you can convert them once opened to a print format.

I have the same question. if I do not use a braille Note anymore, how can I 
convert them to text?
I'm experimenting now.

conversion method? Thank you!
