These are really neat sound recorder chips which store sound in a kind of
analog EEPROM. You record sound on them by feeding them an address (where
in their memory to record), tell it to start recording, feed in an analog
signal, then tell it to stop recording. To play back, you feed address, and
tell it to play. ISD makes them ( http://www.isd.com ) I'm not sure what
the I stands for, but the SD stand for "Storage Devices". There are many
versions available, serial and parallel interface, various sampling rates,
and durations from I think 20 sec up to 6 minutes.

These are very handy for adding voice output to devices. They have enough
power to drive a small speaker as well.
