Yes, there is. Press numeric keypad 3 which takes the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen. Then press numeric keypad 8 which jumps the mouse pointer up and you hear the number of items. What is happening is that you are getting the reading cursor to speak the status line. Hope you are well and enjoying warmer weather.
