- Digitalker - a 40 pin chip that comes with either 2 or 4 ROMs.
- The basic 2 ROM set is about 150 words and the
- extra 2 ROMs are more words.
- Easy to understand male voice.
- Easy to interface to a bus as well, just put the
- address of the word you want the IC to speak
- and strobe it. Another strobe out of the IC will
- happen when the word has been spoke.

- kind of expensive ($25?) 1 800 831 4242
