Hi, When in your Pages document, stop interacting with the document area. Stop interacting enough times to hear the tink noise, then VO-left once. You should hear VO say “Word Count, X number of words.” If it does not, the Word counter may not yet be visible, so press cmd-shift-w to make it visible. Notice that it is announced as a menu item. This means that you can VO-space on the word counter item and you will be presented with other counters such as the character counter, line counter etc.
