Import keyword tags from Elements to Bridge

I'm new to Bridge and would like to import my existing keyword tags (People, Places, Events, and Other) from my old version of Photoshop Elements (14) so that I not only have the list of tags but also so that they are applied to individual photos in Bridge as they are now in the Elements organizer. Can anyone advise me on how to do this?

Can you find any way to export out the tags as a plain text file from PSE?

If you can’t get the data out, then the only other way that I know is to extract the metadata from the images to a text file that can be imported into Bridge as keywords. There are Bridge scripts and ExifTool which can export out the required metadata from the image files.
