Studies found that the human brain better responds to the beat counted in numbers (1, 2, 3 4) then in any other sound because something registers in the brain when it hears the number. That mean that our time is more accurate when we count the beat with numbers versus just tapping a stick in a stick for example (notice that it's not for no reason that when we count off a song we don't just tap but actually say the numbers and usually in English even if we speak another language). The Soundbreener metronome was smart enough to create a "speaking" metronome but only for the downbeats and not for all the subdivisions. So subdivisions up to 16th notes can easily be added in words: "One e and a ; Two e and a ; and so on). As far as triplets, they are usually counted as One-pe-let ; Two-or-let ; three-or-let and so on (comes from saying the words tri-pe-let). As far as subdivisions higher than 4 (which fall under the 16th notes of One e and e) they can be uttered in their respective number so for example a quintuplet (a group of 5) can simply be uttered in the metronome words as: One Two Three Four Five ; Two Two Three Four Five ; Three Two theee four five ; Four Two Three Four Five and so on... and for a group of seven One Two Theee Four Dice Six Seven. That's how I utter these subdivisions when I as a drummer practice these type of odd subdivisions (or not necessarily odd like groups of 10 or 12). I'm sure that since there is already a metronome that utters words for the beats (on the Soundbrenner device) then it shouldn't be to hard to make this happen and thus help musicians get used to hearing the beat in a human's voice (could be a woman too) which in turn shall improve their sense of accurate time.
Studies found that the human brain better responds to the beat counted verbally in numbers (I.e., the sounds of: "One" "Two" "Three" "Four") than with any other sound, because something registers in the brain when it hears the words of the number. That means that our time is more accurate when we count the beat with verbal numbers versus just tapping a stick on a stick for example (notice that it's not for no reason that when we count off a song we don't just tap but actually say the numbers verbally and usually in English, even if our native language is different).

Changed the title from "Verbal Metronome Counting of the Subdivisions" to "App: Verbal Metronome Counting of the Subdivisions"
Great thanks for all these good suggestions! Makes sense :)
Looks like this is the same as the other suggestion, so I'm merging the two
Merged into "App: Verbal Metronome Counting of the Subdivisions" #90
Merged "Verbal mentions counting of subdivisions" #89
Please notice that the title has changed - I mispelled some text and couldn't edit the title so I wrote the entire suggestion and also edited the body of the text so please do use the second (latest one).

I agree and fell this need to be addressed quickly please
I agree. I own and use Soundbrenner products, and adding the audible counting ( 1 and 2 and ...) would be an easy and tremendously helpful addition to your excellent product. This would be extremely useful for musicians and songwriters . I am certain that you could use this capability in future SoundBrenner advertisements, and it would generate significantly more sales.
