Windows Seven is a hole new platform but I did download Balabolka 
and the program is a keeper. Hal was one of the first to come out and is a fun program. Balabolka is 100% free and yes it has the option of reading from the clipboard. You can use Control + R as a hot key or highlight the text, hit copy and both Ultra Hal Text to Speech reader or Balabolka will read the text. ZabaWare tends to crash if you try to read to much at a time every time. I hate to plug Balabolka on ZabaWare's site but it also converts to Wave, MP3, has a spell checker, translator speech to text, text to speech and so much more. Hal in a box with the different avatars is great for kids or just entertainment for adults yet does come with small things like a calandar were the avatar will remind you (If you type it in or use voice to text.) when the event is set. You can hold a conversation with the avatar. That's kinda fun. Did you see the question about a update for the old Ultra Hal ZabaWare disk I purchased? The answer is no there is no free upgrade. Microsoft has Windows Eight in the works. If you can't put your text reader in the startup folder just find it in your programs, Right click on it, select Copy, Right click on your desktop, Right click and select Paste. Then you will have a icon for the program on the desktop and can start the program after you boot up. Then use your settings in the program to minimize on startup or just minimize the program and use the hightight text; copy or highlight the text Control + R. I hope you had a text reader because this was way to long! LOL
