The main problem is that you want several hours of speech.  If you stored the
sound at 6:1 compression (generally adequate for speech targeted for a native
listener), it would take about 13 megabytes per hour of speech.  So you'll
either need a hard disk or CD-ROM.

The rest of it (indexing, accessing the sounds, etc.) should be pretty easy
from HyperCard.
