Spoken metronome plug in

Has anyone come across a metronome with the human voice on? I find a click that's someone counting is much more agreeable than pips or clicks. Apart from striping a track with my monotone counting is there something out there that does this? I've been to google but expect I'm being thick with my searching as I've not yielded anything useful 
 
I had a go at building a sample set for Session Drummer 3, but it's faff to programme each time and I managed to not get it to save the sequencer for it with its numbered channels. Is there something that does this effectively?
 
I'm on all the latest whistles and bells SPLAT update etc

    Record a clip at 80 BPM and say "One Two Three Four" right on the beat, turn it into a Groove Clip or REX file so it works at any tempo, load it into a track, and roll it out for as many measures as needed.

    Funny, I've got a lots of projects with that... oops! they are real recordings and it's the drummer :) 
    I like to leave those on my backing tracks because it makes it more definite what count your on,,, you might be distracted and miss a click. 
    I like Craigs idea I might just do that. 
    Or you could record 1-2-3-4 and assign them to Session drummers pads. 
    There must be a sound effects patch for a synth somewhere! 
    My Gandson has a toy that counts,, maybe I'll record that!

    +1 to Craig's solution. You can customize it to taste and use it in every project that way.

    ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.

    For the best fidelity, create a REX file. With an Acidized file, you may need to cut the number of beats in half when you first open the loop construction window, and to be able to stretch over a wide range, edit the transient markers. It will probably be easier if you just record "1, 2, 3, 4" into the project and hit Ctrl+L.
