Digitalker - a 40 pin chip that comes with either 2 or 4 ROMs.
             The basic 2 ROM set is about 150 words and the
               extra 2 ROMs are more words.
             Easy to understand male voice.
             Easy to interface to a bus as well, just put the
               address of the word you want the IC to speak
               and strobe it. Another strobe out of the IC will
               happen when the word has been spoke.


I can think of Jameco off-hand that sell them. I think it was
kind of expensive ($25?) 1 800 831 4242
