I would like to construct a one-of-a-kind talking doll and I'm trying to find a fairly inexpensive playback device that I can load multiple recorded speech samples onto (and have it play them back randomly). Any suggestions?

Define: "fairly inexpensive". How much audio storage. Does it have to be solid-state? Also, I presume you don't want a string in the back you have to pull. :)

I don't know. I'd like to not spend more than $40 max, preferably closer to $20. Enough storage for no more than a dozen 3-second phrases should be enough. Not sure how I would get that without going solid-state. Actually, the pull string might add to the kitsch factor of the doll, so maybe I would like a pull string?
You want to reinvent Chatty Cathy?

Thanks, Rich
Or maybe Talky Tina?

Have you checked out Winbond?

They have several families of speech parts besides this one.

If you want kitsch factor why not have the pull string dangling between the doll's legs like a tampon string?
You could even have a red string
And a recorded sound of squish-pop-splat-flush when pulled, but this isn't kitsch, it's techno-vulgar.
