Yes, that is the one I have the datasheet on.

It's still fairly complicated for me at this point. I would need to access different sounds saved on the chip and size wise it's pretty big. Really what I need is the "microversion" that skips the plastic case, but I don't think I can solder that myself!

I don't expect hi-fi. :-) Would be nice, but not realistic. Still need to look at fitting everything in a space that will probably measure 1x2 inches with the possiblity of using a double sided pcb. Size is really the major issue. Everything would need to be surface mount at a mininum.

Might still be fun to breadboard it to see if I can make it all work. Good learning experiment if nothing else.
