Hi,

Thanks everyone for the previous help but now I'm stuck...

I have an Aplus APR9600 voice chip which I'm using off a F84.
The problem I have is that the APR chip appears to have about a 2 second =
delay between the message selection signal, and the commencement of =
audible sound.
So the questions are...
1) Does anyone have any experience with this chip and know a way to make =
the sound start within 0.5 seconds of the trigger on the respective =
message pin?

If not... I've read a few mentions of people doing speech using the PIC =
and a serial memory chip (such as a 24LC256)
Does anyone have some sample code which could help me out with the =
following scenario..???
I would have 6 "words" that I would need to be able to address within the =
chip and output under PIC control
ie the flow would be something like "play word_1, then word_3, call a =
delay, then call word_6"
The sequence would be controlled by the code and would depend on the user =
input switches.

Also - How do i get the speech written into the 24LC256 in the first =
place? (I have a PIC programmer which appears to only do C84 and F84, but =
if I need to whip something up I will, OR if I need to program another f84 =
to fill the memory chip I will, but I've no experience here, and time is =
running out fast (prototype is due in the next 10 days)

If anyone can assist, I'd appreciate any pointers...
Many many thanks in advance,
