From the developer:
UpdateKES is a converter that enables you to open Kurzweil 3000 Version 8 and earlier image-based KES files that either can no longer open or that open but in which you cannot page through or navigate without error messages. It should only be installed on a computer that already has Kurzweil 3000 Version 12 or above installed and registered.
