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
