Hi all, Attached is a very simple little AppleScript to speak the word count of the selected text in any application. It's great for TextEdit, Safari, or anywhere you can enter text. It's even easier, in my opinion, than using the word count feature of Pages.
Just: download this script; save it somewhere on your Mac (making note of where you save it); Open VoiceOver Utility with VO-F8, and navigate to the commanders pane; Choose Keyboard Commander, and add a new entry, choosing custom and run AppleScript from the menu button. Browse to the script you saved earlier, and choosing it. Then you have a handy little keyboard shortcut to speak the word count of selected text in any application. Note: The script copies the selected text to the clipboard, but afterwards it resets your clipboard to what it was originally so you won't lose what ever you had on your clipboard.
