I take it the National Semiconductor "Digi-Talker Chipset is no longer made or available then?
I used this chipset in a talking voltmeter as a senior project when in tech school.  It worked fine.
Check Digi-key.  They may still have it.  Also, Radio Shack used to have a voice synthesizer
chipset.  You may still be able to get it from "National Parts"  Just call R/S and ask them if they
still stock them or can get them.   I don't recall the part numbers right off hand, but if you would
like me to, I'll look them up and let you know a little later.    Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Subject: pic and speech

Hi All,
 
    I have a project with pic to give some caution messages from a speaker.
But I look forward some speech chips for this project and find only Nationals NSAM266 which is mainly designed for digital answering machines. There are some DSP's but I want to use PIC to command the speech Chip.
    I will be happy if someone , worked on these chips,  help me to find perfect chip for my project.
 
Best Regards
