Here's a possible workaround:
o Install a virtual PDF printer.
o Print the presentation to the virtual PDF printer, selecting Notes 
under Print content | Content in the Print dialogue.
o Open the PDF in your favourite viewer and save the text as a plain 
text document.
o Edit out any text from the slides themselves (which may initially 
be a useful guide to which slides the notes belong to). It should be 
fairly straightforward to do this.

I trust this helps.
