[Electronics-Talk] reading old kwb files from BrailleNote

Hi all,

This is a bit off topic but I had a big tech question in order to access old
files!

 

What computer program can open and hopefully read kwb files?

I have access to a Windows pc and laptop which includes both Openbook and
Duxbury software.

 

Older Braille notes had their own file format and I had a Braille Note and
saved many of its files.

These were called KWB files which were keyword braille files.

These files were written in contracted braille. I would guess I'd open them
in electronic braille but then need to convert them to some kind of text
format to read them on screen with a screen reader.

 

I have the old Braille Note but its almost dead and takes a long time to
even scroll down to files and most of the cells have broken pins.

 

I just now want a way to access files though. Thanks for any help!

 

Ashley
