Just use RIL.TEXTLINE instead of RIL.WORD and use enumerate for counting.

If you want both the textline and the word images, then I recommend using the page/result iterator directly (for which GetComponentImages is just a wrapper). That is, api.GetIterator() and then it.Next() / it.Empty() / it.IsAtFinalElement(ril) etc. Or the Pythonic iterate_level generator. From the iterator, you can get BoundingBox(ril) as well as GetImage(ril), and of course the text and such.
