Playing Voice Messages using Microcontroller

[emhawkable]

I am working on a project in which i am required to play different voice messages on different occasions using 8051 I/O ports. I have experience in Micro controllers but I have no idea about how to play recorded messages and using which chips should i record these messages at the 1st place and how. Kindly help me. The no of messages might be 10 and will be length of 5 seconds each.

Kindly help!!

The cheapest way you can do this, is by just using an external memory where your wav files would reside in binary format. Then you can generate sound by reading this memory and at the same time producing pwm of specific frequency on each timeslot. You only need a low pass filter to the pwm's output to have a "smooth" sound.
The following referenes will be helpful to get you an idea of what I mean.
