Re: Word count using pages

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Once the Word count is shown, there will be a pop-up menu item at the top level 
of the Pages window with the Word/Line/Paragraph/etc counts.  Press on that 
menu item to view the various counts.

Later...

Re: still not able to see Word Count in Pages

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your help.  The problem was the one Tim identified.  It defaulted to 
character count, and I didbn''t realize it was a button.  Everything is working 
now.

Yes, I confirmed with a 14 word blank template document that when the view menu 
displays "Hide Word Count", then there is a word count immediately following 
the tool bar when navigating with the vo left and right cursor keys.

Re: still not able to see Word Count in Pages

Hi Donna,

The Character count item should be a menu item.  that is, if you've already 
made it show the count from the View menu, just VO-space on the Character count 
item, then arrow down to Word count.  Whatever count that was visible on the 
last viewing in that document will be the count that shows next time you open 
the document.  You can go to that count item at any time to learn the other 
counts such as character, paragraph etc.

Later...

I expect however that the document has some content in it?

I'll create a blank document and do some testing.

Thanks, Maria.  I was able to do this on my phone, but still can't do it on my

Re: still not able to see Word Count in Pages

Hi Jonathan,

I've been able to activate it on my iPhone using Maria's directions, but on my 
Mac, the tool bar is immediately to the left of the document region.  There is 
nothing in between the two.

Donna,

ON my Macintosh, the word count is immediately after the toolbar. After the 
word count is the region that contains the document contents. If you click on 
the word count it will provide paragraph character, and page counts. 
Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Hi, 
Go to more, then keep flicking until you hear word count switch button off. 
Double tap to toggle it on. The button is right before the text field.

In Pages under the View menu, you have an option to show or hide word count.  
It has a shortcut key attached to it.  Have a look.

Re: Word count scripts

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi Jonathan,

I shared scripts for this sort of counting in a different post.  I'm thinking 
that Brian was simply commenting on these scripts, not asking for them.  I 
could be mistaken though.  In either case, here's the gist of the script I 
shared:

if application "TextEdit" is running then
tell application "TextEdit"
set WordCount to the number of words in the the front document
display dialog ("The wordcount is: " & WordCount)
end tell
else
display dialog "Error.  TextEdit is not running."
end if

When the script is called with a VO Keyboard Commander shortcut, it's important 
to have some error checks.  I've had this one display a dialog instead of VO 
just announcing the count so that it's easily read out again if needed.

This should be a one line script, but I believe that in some some applications

A general script would be
tell frontmost application
set CharacterCount to the count of characters of document 1

tell application "VoiceOver" to output spokenText
delay 3 Best wishes,

The delay is there because you need to give VoiceOVer a chance to produce 
output before the script exits. I am not quite sure about the frontmost 
application, and it also might be that some word processors would need you to 
specify a window for the document.

document of window 1 or document 1 of window 1 
Also, for mail the Document property would not work but "body would work if 
that is what you are after.

Word count scripts

[Jonathan Cohn]

This should be a one line script, but I believe that in some some applications 
it will not work.

A general script would be
tell frontmost application
set CharacterCount to the count of characters of document 1
end tell
set spokenText to "The character count is " & CharacterCount
tell application "VoiceOver" to output spokenText
delay 3 Best wishes,

The delay is there because you need to give VoiceOVer a chance to produce 
output before the script exits. I am not quite sure about the frontmost 
application, and it also might be that some word processors would need you to 
specify a window for the document.

document of window 1 or document 1 of window 1 
Also, for mail the Document property would not work but "body would work if 
that is what you are after.


Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

Re: word count in text edit

[Paul Erkens]

Hi Jim and others,

What a wonderful tip that is. I have been running into mac versus unix files 
since I’m using mac and windows side by side. Word count, sort lines, convert 
from mac to windows formatting etc, wow. Thanks a lot. And for those 
interested: yes, it’s in the mac app store. Still exploring all its 
capabilities.

Hth,
Paul.

Re: word count in text edit

[Jim Gatteys]

actually that's not where I got the word count.  It is an apple script that I 
converted to run like an app.  Not sure if I can post it to this list but if 
you want to email me I can send it as an attachment.  Not sure where I got it.

Hi!
If you look for an app called word service it will let you install several 
services that work with many applications and one of them is a word count 
service.  Also sorting is another handy service that I use quite a bit.

word count in text edit

[Gabe Griffith]

Hi all,

Is there a way to get a word count for files in text edit? I've looked in the 
menus and am not seeing anything.

Thanks,

Gabe

You'd assign it to a commander, at least that's the easiest way I can think of. 
You'll also need the Talking Dashboard scripts, since that zip file contains

You'd assign it to a commander, at least that's the easiest way I can think of. 
You'll also need the Talking Dashboard scripts, since that zip file contains 
the utilities this one uses.

Hello,
How would you run this script from within textEdit?  Would you assign it to a

Re: Looking for a Script to Give a Word Count in TextEdit

[Alex Hall]

I'm glad it works. :) Anyone else can use it too, so long as you have Talking 
Dashboard:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17005121/talking%20dashboard.zip

Again, this script will be in the next update to that, but it will work right 
now if you paste the code into Script Editor and save the file in the same 
folder as the other Talking Dashboard scripts.

Re: Looking for a Script to Give a Word Count in TextEdit

[Alex Hall]

It's not, but you have a great point. I'll add that to the next version.

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

Looking for a Script to Give a Word Count in TextEdit

[Jamie Pauls]

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.

Re: word count

[Anne Robertson]

Hello,

In Pages, show or hide word count is in the View menu. The count appears to the 
left of the Formatter. It’s a menu button and the menu offers several choices 
such as character or paragraphs.

In TextEdit, you need a script to do this.

Cheers,

Anne

RE: How do I get a word count in Pages?

[Jamie Pauls]

Hi, Anne,

 

I see that now. I think I may have gotten myself into an area of the program 
that dealt with resizing my document. I’m not sure how that happened, but it 
doesn’t seem to be a problem now. Thanks for the explanation.

 

Take care and have a great day.

Hello Jamie,

 

When you find the Word Count, you’ll see that it’s a button and clicking it 
will give you other options such as Character count. You find the Word Count 
button to the right of the document layout area.

 

Cheers,

Re: How do I get a word count in Pages?

[Jamie Pauls]

Hi, Anne,

I see the Show Word count option, but it is not a button. Pressing it simply 
changes the menu item to Hide Word Count. I managed to see the word count a 
couple times while looking around in the document layout area, but I can’t 
reliably find the info. Sadly, TextEdit isn’t quite the word processor I need 
and Pages seems a bit more frustrating to me that it’s worth. I’ll keep 
plugging away, though. Thanks.

Take care and have a great day.

Re: How do I get a word count in Pages?

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Jamie,

To get the number of words, characters, paragraphs, etc in Pages, just go to 
the View menu and down to Show Word Count. It appears as a menu button and 
pressing VO-Space on it will give you the other options.

Cheers,

Anne

How do I get a word count in Pages?

[Jamie Pauls]

Hello, list members,

I need to get the word count on a document I am writing using the latest 
version of Pages. An article I read said to use the inspector, but I’m still 
not finding what I am looking for. Has anyone written a script for this? It 
seems like it might be a good candidate, but I’m not the guy to do it, I don’t 
think. Regardless of the method, an explanation of how to get a word count in a 
document  would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Take care and have a great day.

Re: how to enhance the say word count script

[Nicholas Parsons]

Your first question is tricky. You might be able to get the "name of" "current 
application" or "frontmost application" and put it in a variable, but I think 
this is a little difficult.

The second question is easy, at least so far as it doesn't depend on the first 
question. You could just change the "say WordCount" line to:
say "The word count is " & WordCount
If you wanted to include the application name, assuming you stored it in the 
variable appName, you could do this:
say "The word count in " & appName & " is " & WordCount

Best,
Nic

how to enhance the say word count script

[Scott Berry]

A couple of questions here.  Firstly, is there a way in Apple script to get the 
name of the program where the word count is coming from and secondly I don't 
like just the number.  I'd like it to say "Your word count in program name is". 
 How would I accomplish this?

Re: Getting Started with AppleScript (was: Shortcut to Speak Word Count in Any application | Here's How It's Done)

[Nicholas Parsons]

Phil, if you have some experience with programming or some scripting language 
(e.g. I've done a bit with JavaScript) AppleScript will be really easy to pick 
up once you read through some other people's scripts and get an idea of the 
syntax, objects and commands. For more information on any particular object or 
command, I find the best thing is to Google Apple's AppleScript language guide. 
I've given you the link to their introduction, but it's often easiest to just 
Google what it is you're trying to do and include the terms AppleScript 
language guide. Then once you're on the page just do a VO-F search for the 
particular term you're after.

Another great place to check out is Mac OSX Automation. They have a beginners 
tutorial on AppleScript, as well as more advanced tutorials on using 
AppleScript with iWork. For even more basic stuff, I also came across this 
tutorial  but I didn't read through it very carefully as by that stage I had 
got a handle on the basics.

Nic, where are you getting your applesript training materials? I'd like to get 
back into programming and could use some good training sources for AppleScript, 
which looks like it'd be fairly easy to use once the syntax is understood.
I've looked around in the Applescript editor's help system and that's a good 
source, but I'm always looking for more and better...
thanks

Shortcut to Speak Word Count in Any application | Here's How It's Done

[Nicholas Parsons]

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.

If the link above doesn't work, the URL is:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58683113/Say%20Word%20Count%20of%20Selected%20Text.scpt

Best,
Nic

Re: Seeing Word count in Pages?

Hello Donna,

The word count in Pages appears to VO as an image. You can find it to the right 
of where VO says "Layout area" but it isn't readable with VO and I haven't 
found a way round this as I can't seem to highlight it to use the trick of 
copying the highlighted text into TextEdit. In any case, that would take longer 
than going to the Inspector.

Cheers,

Anne

Seeing Word count in Pages?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

I have Pages set to show the Word Count at the bottom of the Window, but can't 
seem to see the Word count.  Anyone know if it's possible to do this?
TIA,'
Donna

Re: Word Count in Pages

Hi Rachel,

Thanks so much for the info on this.  I was in the Info Tab, but I used the tab 
key to check out the various options.  Anyway, I'll look again with VO and the 
arrows.

Hi Les,

To get to word count in pages, do the following:
Open the inspector with command+option+I. You'll then vo+left arrow and see a

Then, you'll vo+right arrow to the info tab and select it. If you vo+Right

your whole document contains. If you want to know how many words a section of

Cool. Thanks for this. I really need to spend more time learning Apple Scripts. 
It's just one of those things I keep putting off.

Just a question, did you mean to write "the" twice in the second line (e.g. 
"the the front document"), or was this a typo?

Best,
Nic

Word Count in TextEdit

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

For those of you who were looking to use a word count function in TextEdit.  
Try this:

• Go to your Utilities folder.  (cmd-shift-u when in the Finder)
• Open the Apple Script Editor app.
• Paste in the following text.

tell application "TextEdit"
set WordCount to the number of words in the the front document
display dialog "The wordcount is: " & WordCount

end tell

• Press cmd-comma to bring up the Preferences menu.
• Make sure the "Show Scripts menu in Menubar" is checked.
• close the Preferences window.
• Save the Apple Script as Word Count" to your Desktop.
• Open Macintosh HD.
• Open the Library folder.
• Open the Scripts folder.
• Open the TextEdit Scripts folder.  If one doesn't already exist, create it.  
Make sure to name it "TextEdit Scripts".
• Copy the Word Count AppleScript document you saved to the Desktop into this 
folder.
• Close all the windows.
• Open a TextEdit document.
• Press VO-M twice to get to the extra menus.
• Locate the one called AppleScript menu and activate it.
• Go down to TextEdit and over to the "Word Count" script.
• Press cmd-tab to take you back to TextEdit and a dialog will be there 
announcing the word count.

A few things to note:

• It will only count the words in the front most TextEdit document.
• If you don't like using the AppleScript menu, you can save this script as an 
application to your Desktop.  All you'll need to do then is have the TextEdit 
document open, get to your Desktop and run the Word Count app.  The same dialog 
will appear over your TextEdit document.

Hope I didn't forget any steps.

HTH.

Re: a little more on word count

Sorry about that!
Maybe Travis needs to update it a bit then! :]
It was only  a suggestion!
Take care Ray!
And thanks to you for letting people know about that problem!

a little more on word count

[Ray Foret Jr]

To the person who posted the version of text edit with word count.  It doesn't 
seem to work at all.  I created a new document, then typed a few words in to it 
and then caused the properties to show.  No word count could be seen at all.  
The page to which you directed seems very out of date to me.

Re: word count

[Red.Falcon]

Hi here is a option from Travis!
There might be items of interest on his site for others to look at!
His site!

http://www.softcon.com/mac
In his own words!
Here is a version of text edit that has the character, word, line and paragraph 
counting built-in. It can be accessed by using the command-option-P key 
combination, or on the properties option under the file menu. Hope this helps 
some.

Re: word count

[Cheryl Homiak]

I did some googling and found the following link that gives a script to use. 
The script appears to work but turning on the applescript menu as this article 
suggests is a bit cumbersome because it means you have to go into the extras 
menu and down to the script. So you might want to put it in the dock instead.

Re: word count

[Israel Antonio]

Lisette,

The only way I've found to get a word count for my Text Edit documents is by 
writing and saving in Text Edit, but then when I wish to get a word count, I 
open that same document in Pages, navigate the Inspector until I see where it 
says Word Count and get my count there.  I do not know if this helps or if it's 
too cumbersome, but just an idea.

No.  Not directly.  There are two ways you can do it.  One way is through an 
apple script which you can find online and insert and assign a  hotkey for and 
use.  Another way is via an app called "Word Count".  Not in the app store so

Well, there happens to be an app called "Word count".  There's also an apple 
script you could run to do it.

Have you tried Pages?  It definitely has word count.  You just go into your 
inspector, and it shows up right in there.

word count for mac?

[Rachel Feinberg]

Hi All,

Would any one of you folks know where I could get either an application, or a 
word processor that supports word count for mac? I'm not seeing the feature in 
bean or TextEdit. The word service app, unless I'm overlooking something, 
doesn't appear to have that feature either.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Rachel

Re: Word Count in TextEdit

[Alex Hall]

A google search reveals that you can't do this directly. The way I found was to 
make a script, then enable scripts in the extras menus. When in Text Edit, 
you'd go to the script menu in the extras and select your word count script 
from there. Google can tell you how to do this exactly, but that's the idea.

Word Count in TextEdit

[Harry Hogue]

Hello everyone,

is it possible to get a word count in TextEdit, or is this only available in 
Pages?  I don't remember.

I am writing a document in TextEdit, and would really prefer not to need t copy 
it over to Pages just to obtain a word count.

Thanks,

Harry
