Nick, why don't you use an ISD device? Sure will have better audio quality.

Hi Ioannis,
Have you used the ISD chips much? I have managed to write some code for the the isd4003 with SPI control about 18 months ago, but since then that type has been discontinued in the UK. I have got some of the 1700 series chipcorders and have been playing with them in push button mode. The problem I have with them is removing the pop and hiss that that is in the back ground when in play back, if I could remove or attenuate it they would be fine for my application. I found this last week when searching for ideas, it uses the audio out and parallel port for control.

Which makes them more appealing, like I said if I could remove the noise i'd be using them.
I have the circuit built as per the data sheet, with an lm386 audio amp connected to the speaker output. If you have any ideas they would be great.
regards Nick
It was long time ago when I read the datasheets of the ISD products trying to decide which one to use. Finally the project did not mke it to production and I never used these chips, although I have some to experiment. I may do it sometime.
Why not process the file on a sound editor program on the PC, and then use the line out of the PC to record the clean sound to the ISD?

I wish I'd noticed this before doing my talking clock.
Or maybe not now that it's done in asm.
BTW EEPROM is good for storing sound.
I think a PicBasic version would be nice though, for projects where everything can
fit in one chip.
For a version in basic see PIC iPod wav player

Here is an update to my project. I brought the roman black board and it does work. I tried many band pass filters and the quality is terrible. The only way to even get decent quality was to have a speaker in an enclosure. That did more to filter out the noise, but it still wasn't great. I settled on a windbond device. I wouldn't waste time or money with this method.
