AI really is amazing at writing "run once" software. I had a bunch of .kes files, saved by an old version of Kurzweil. I needed them to not be .kes files anymore. AI figured out the file format, wrote a script, and converted them. It doesn't matter if the code is awful, because it did the job, and now it's going straight into the trash, because I'm never going to need to do that again.

@fastfinge Oh - so I should do the same with my KES files as well. AI can't sadly restore Stephen Baum - haha!

@amir They're basicly RTF files with a bunch of extra nonstandard stuff. Unless you told Kurzweil to store pictures of the pages you scanned, then it gets more complicated. But I didn't, so I never had to deal with that.

@fastfinge @amir Damn. I have some of those files. Unfortunately, I stored them with the tiffs. Getting LLMs to deal with them was something on my personal roadmap.

@ppatel @amir Yeah, if they have the images, they're some kind of binary blob. AI might still be able to figure it out, but I didn't try too hard because I had versions without the tiffs.

@fastfinge Yeah. K1K also had a utility to sort of restore broken KES files. But I want to be able to restore my multi-level bookmarks. Guess it's not doable.
