It should be easy today for some company to make a talking indicator. Of course, it would have a readout, too, but you would have the option of having it state (at whatever volume you wanted) the pitch you just clicked and the resulting count every time you clicked it. It could also read out the time since the last click, so you could easily tell whether you registered the pitch on that passed ball or stolen base. If anyone asked the count, you could just press a red button and the device would state it loud and clear. Plus, you could simply hit the "reset" button after each batter—no wasting time and energy clearing each dial separately.

The deluxe version could have a choice of statements to batters. Various keys could produce a computer voice saying, "Looked good to me," "Quit the acting," "Get in there and hit and shut up," etc.

$24.95 seem reasonable?
For another 50 cents we could stick a camera in there, let the clicker call balls & strikes! Easily get $59.95 for it too.
