The idea for SpeakBeat Metronome was born during a professional music teacher practice session with his students. Set a time signature (even unusual ones like 5/4, 9/8, and 10/4), choose how many sub-beats you'd like (selecting four will get you 'one-e-and-ah two-e-and-ah.'), pick an optional starting delay, and take advantage of a fully-customizable count-in which counts either up ('five six seven eight') or down ('three two one'). SpeakBeat Metronome allows you to choose any tempo either by using a dial or tapping out the beats per minute (BPM). Introducing SpeakBeat Metronome: the voice metronome that counts for you! Fully customizable and with tons of studio-recorded high quality voices to choose from, SpeakBeat Metronome will count 'one two three four' (and more!) all day long, never getting tired and never missing a beat. To make matters worse, it's boring and exhausting to count 'one two three four' all day long! So why not let your phone do the counting for you? A teacher or coach might be able to count time for you, but when they need to call instructions, they need to stop counting - this means their instructions must be in time as well. When you're practicing by yourself, counting time can be very difficult while you're concentrating on notes or steps. Music teachers, composers, dance coaches, choreographers, and cheerleaders all know: counting out loud is the way to go. But when it's critical for you or your students to know where you are in the bar, counting aloud is more effective - especially for complex meters and rhythms. Plenty of metronomes on the App Store can replace a traditional metronome, clicking and ticking away at the edge of your attention.
