Jesse, SNIP> Ok back to client research. Speech compression algorithms suitable for a PIC to decompress out of flash memory and play - how cool is that? :) I'm looking at something similar at the moment...maybe we should compare note's Currently trying for the best algorithm I can get to run on a PIC or AVR, there are plenty of algorithms out there that work great....on a DSP.
