Text to Speech in Final Draft

I can't get text to speech to work in Final Draft 8, when I press play there's no sound. Also, does anyone find this feature to be helpful?

I've used it. I find the robotic voice to be a turn-off, flat with no emotion or connotation. I like hearing my character's voices in my head. I get a better sense of the timing for both drama and comedy. It's fun to play with though...

I love it because you can adjust the tones for different characters. Text to speech has help me catch errors that I missed when I read to myself. In regards to your sound issue, check with Final Draft tech support... They reply within 24 hours usually!
