Hi Thanks for the reply. well there is a special chip by ISD it is called ISD chipcorder you probably know this already. the Isd chipcorder can happly record any speech in analog format so the problem of a/d and d/a conversion is gone. what i need is a pic wizard to program a pic for me :-) so that it can capture the clock data from external clock module and map this information to the recorded speech on the ISD chipcorder. Do you think a pic can do this? S+ On Thu, 12 Feb 1998, D.

I think the second way is the easier one (don't need to > sample, A/D, D/A-conversion...).
