Dear Kristen,
My BN has never crashed yet. But the best and safest place to store files
is on a CompactFlash card. The next best place is the flash disk. Never
store anything on the Keysoft system disk.

Hello Susan and Everyone,
Susan, Please Correct me if I am wrong I was told that the only place that
files could not be erased from was the flash drive!
In fact I have been told to only write my documents and or files in the
flash dr never to use the Keysoft System Disk Drive because the flash
drive is the only drive where your documents and or files will not be
erased if the unit goes completely flat.
I hope to hear from all of you very soon!
May GOD Bestow His Blessings And His Peace Upon Each And Every Single One
Of You!
Sincerely, Kristen

Of course the problem arises when the BrailleNote crashes and has to be
sent in for repair and you haven't had a chance to export files. With
this in mind, I'd suggest that if you have files you really need to view
on your computer in the event the BrailleNote is absent, you export them
on a regular basis, a sort of backup procedure. I have learned the hard
way that once the BrailleNote crashes and all your stuff it gone, it's
just gone! (I do not store files on the flash disk any more for this
very reason.)

Dear Doug,
It would be nice if such a program existed, but until that time, you'll
have
to export your files before you send your BN in for repair.

Hi, Terri. You missed my point completely. I want this translation
program for the pc. I've got all the files on compact flash cards and
may
not have the BN available. I first encountered this problem when my
BN
was in for service, and I desperately needed a document from a storage
card.

At 2, you wrote:
The translation utility is already in your braille note. Here are the
steps to export files:
1. Go to the file manager menu.
2. Press t to get to the translation menu.
3. Press e to get to the export menu.
4. You will be prompted for the drive the files are on.
5. After you have indicated the drive, you will be prompted for the
folder name.
6. After that, you will be prompted for the filename. At this point,
you
will need to press read with x I don't know the BT command, until "all
files" appears on the BN.
7. Press the star sign, (shift 8 on a QT) to indicate you want all
the
files in the directory to be exported. You can also use the star
followed
by a common denominator in the file name or the common denominator
followed by star and this will indicate specific files.
8. At the "Export to which device" prompt, choose file, if you plan
to
put the files on a CF card or serial port, if you plan to transfer the
files using a serial cable between the BN and the PC.
9. Next, you are asked for the file type. You can cycle through the
list
until you come to the file type you want to export the files to. The
choices are, ASCII text, Plain Braille, Microsoft Word, Rich Text
Format,
WordPerfect 5.1 plus older versions of Keysoft braille and text.
10. Once you've chose the file type, your files will automatically be
named with the original name and the proper extension and exported.
I try to keep computer-friendly backup copies of my BN files and put
them
in my PC. I also have copies of files I can transfer from the PC to
the
BN using a CF card. This has come in handy when I've had to do a
complete
system restore.
I hope this helps.

Hi. I haven't been on the list for a long while, so this may have
been
answered. I have many critical documents stored on compact flash
cards,
written by my BrailleNote. These include bank records, info about
clients, tax info, etc. It's in .kwb and .kwt files-- Keysoft's word
processor's format. Now, when my BN is in for repair, a new battery,
or
whatever, I would dearly love to access these files on my computer
with
screen reader and Braille embosser.
My questions are: has anyone written a piece of software for the pc,
which would translate .kwt files into .txt and .kwb files into .brf
files? If not, will Humanware release the specs on its word
processor,
or maybe provide a Keysoft function library, so that a user could
write
his own conversion software? It's ridiculous to be sending .kwt
files to
notepad, and then trying to edit out all the formatting stuff. How
can I
solve this problem? You guys could even protect your proprietary
Keysoft. Just give us the .dll files and the relevant function
calls.
