I used to have a program called AppleTalker (it came on cassette tape, which
disintigrated some years ago (so did my only disk copy of it)).

AppleTalker (rather crudely) sampled audio from the cassette in port.  It
could then play it back to either the speaker or the cassette port.

The sound quality was horrible, but it could reproduce intellegeble speech.
