The only method that I've found to get JAWS to speak the number of items in a list is either to read the current line (insert-up arrow) or to press insert-tab.

JAWS key plus 3 on the numpad

Eh?  JAWS Key + 3 is bypass.  How will that help?

All the best

I also have this situation.  It appears that somehow a maximum of 13 is the count in any Folder where I have many additional files.

If I pres Enter + T it reads the file name and whatever it's place in 13.  And, when I press Enter + Tab I hear the same.

Thanks.

In most cases, insert+tab will read the current item, plus how many of

I hope this works in your case.

I used to use window eyes. It would read the number if items in a 

folder after reading off a file name. Is there a way to do this in 

jaws? Right now jaws only reads item names in file explorer not how 

many items there afterwards

Thanks
