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
