We often need a countdown. From the kitchen to cook eggs to the astronaunomy to launch a rocket. But sometimes we need to be focused on another task while the counter counts down. Hence the usefulness of Vocal Countdown is to tell you the steps of countdown you have chosen. You may use 2 ways to countdown: -Free countdown by specifying the duration of countdown, -Synchronize countdown by giving the time to reach. In each case you can also request a text to speak at the end of the countdown.
