Design voice messages in a product

[JuniorEE]

Hello

I want to develop something with voice messages
I want to record X messages - and play them when needed
I have some questions:
1. Where do i start from ? which IC to look for ?
2. How do i record & store the messages ? Do i need an external flash besides my internal controlles flash ?
3. In factory production line - besides my controller, do i need to flash something else ? (i don't want to store the voice messages on my controller's flash)

Thanks

If you are talking about record/play sound, these are perhaps the most used ICs on this kind of application:



All you need is already built in there.
