Hi Yvonne,
I don't know if this will help, but in the VO utility under
verbosity, there is a character count announcement setting that you
can use to speak out the number of repeated characters. It does not
seem to work with spaces at least in mail.

Hi all.
I've just spent half the afternoon battling with something that, I
hope someone can give me some advice on.
One of the main languages I program in is Python, and a big part of
that is significant whitespace. In other words, blocks of code are
defined by how far the code is indented, rather than using braces or
end statements like in other languages.
The problem I'm having is, well, how can you easily tell how many
spaces a line is indented by? Has anyone else had this problem? Or is
there another way to deal with this sort of thing? I've spent far too
many years in emacspeak, I'm afraid, where info like this gets handed
to you on a silver platter, <grin>.
Any suggestions or possible slaps over the head with the blatantly
obvious solution are gratefully accepted.
