Check out  the 'speech stick' from Dallas Semiconductor. Its a pcb about
4" x 3/4" and stores and replays speech. It stores about a minute (more
with an accompanying memory board) and sections can be organised like files.
Abt $120 in one offs.
Its designed for 'tele-servicing' (you dial up you electronics box and ask
for a status report)
Of course Dallas also sells the chips that form the heart of the board.
