You'll also need the Talking Dashboard scripts, since that zip file contains the utilities this one uses.

In the meantime, here's the script. Just copy the below lines, open up Script Editor, paste, and save the script in the same place as the other Talking Dashboard ones. It's not tested very much--I wrote it in about fifteen minutes--but it runs on my machine and doesn't require Yosemite. Be warned that, if TextEdit is not running when you run this script, the app will launch itself. Anyway, here is the script: (* Keywords: $wordCount: the number of words in the currently open document in TextEdit $characterCount: the number of characters in the currently open TextEdit document $name: the name of the currently open document *) set template to "$wordCount words ($characterCount characters) in $name." set utilities to import("utilities.scpt") set {wordCount, characterCount, documentName} to {0, 0, ""} tell application "TextEdit" set my wordCount to count (words of document 1) set my characterCount to count (characters of document 1) set my documentName to name of document 1 end tell set keywords to {{"$wordCount", wordCount}, {"$characterCount", characterCount}, {"$name", documentName}} set template to str_replace(keywords, template) of utilities tell utilities to speak(template) on import(filename) set p to (path to me) as text set oldDelimiters to text item delimiters of AppleScript set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":" set scpt to load script file (((text items 1 through ((length of (text items of p)) - 1) of p) & filename) as text) set text item delimiters of AppleScript to oldDelimiters return scpt end import On Mar 27, 2015, at 6:37 PM, Jamie Pauls <jamiepa...@gmail.com <mailto:jamiepa...@gmail.com> > wrote: Hello, all, I understand that a script exists that will allow one to get a word count for a document using TextEdit. If someone could kindly point me to this script, that would be great. It doesn’t appear to be a part of the Talking Dashboard scripts unless I’mm missing something. Thanks. Take care and have a great day. Jamie Pauls jamiepa...@gmail.com <mailto:jamiepa...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
