downloaded and installed smoothly, but has the most basic of functions, couldnt copy and paste to read from files so was completely useless to me. windows 7

I installed this software to my laptop but i can't hear any voice ...plz if someone know help me to solve this prob.and also text to speech voice preview is not working in my laptop, have windows vista as operating system .do i install any driver to my laptop????????

I bought this software in 2008 or 2009 - can't remember. I also bought a couple of voices. The software does it's job ok. At first I would paste a section of text into NR and for some reason it would copy twice. This would be annoying if you made an mp3 and all the sudden found yourself listening to the same thing over again. The other thing that bugged me was the Pronunciation Editor never seemed to work. When I bought NR these problems were bothered me but since they "Promised" free upgrades it was ok since I thought they would eventually fix them. Well, beware. They don't mean "Free" by the word "Free". Buy this product and then ask for your "Free" upgrade. They will ask you for $10 to maintain THEIR server.
This product works "OK" but why put up with it's bugs and then have you pay to fix them? I recommend buying the voices and using something like: http://clipspeak.codeplex.com/ Clipspeak is Free in the Free sense of the word. Or buy ivona.
