Hi Guys

My granddaughter has some dolls that talk, how can one modify (or construct ones own) a  voice generator that says: (for obvious reasons) Stall Stall

You could



1. if there's a memory chip you could reprogram it, or replace it with one with your own data



2. you could replace part of the circuit with a microcontroller of your own to bash out your own audio but use the same output stage - amplifier and speaker. Two seconds of 8kHz sampled audio is 16KBytes, or half that if you use 4 bit samples. You could find a microcontroller with enough memory or use an external memory chip. Any $1 microcontroller now has a D to A, or you can bit-bash your own with a resistor ladder or 4 or 8 bit PWM output



3. you could build your own system from scratch and put it in the doll

I am using an older ISD1730 evaluation board that was around $10. from 

digi-key for 3 different voice warnings on my amphib.

Today I'd start by looking at something like this

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10653

and I'd google "arduino voice recorder"

I've seen birthday cards that let  you record your own audio message. Gutting one of those might be the easiest way to do what you want, if you have some soldering skills.

I have used an "ISD1820 Voice Record Module" with success:

eBay item number: 201708883118 $1.63 with free shipping.

It takes one month to ship from China.

I have used many of the Chinese knockoffs for cheap experiments or where 

saving pennies is important but expect zero support for the product 

other than free replacement if you get a dud.

For a one off or first time project I recommend using adafruit.com or 

sparkfun.com or similar vendors to increase the chances of success with 

greatly reduced aggravation.

Minor changes in some of these products can chew up a lot of time 

sorting things out.

All of this discussion presupposes that the OP knows how to get a signal line out of an EFIS or an AOA device, or a stall horn switch and send it to

a memory/DAC system (i.e., a voice generator) to trigger an annunciation event. It is not hard, but not trivial and depends on the specifics of the

target hardware

Great subject. DX.com has several of these for a few bucks. They have reasonably fast shipping. 



Two thoughts: This is a perfect place to put a perfect female voice from a coworker, sister, friend, etc. 



The Air Forces uses audio warnings extensively. The potential uses for these is mind boggling.



A Guerrilla group in San Francisco bought a load of GI Joes and Talking Barbies and swapped the chips and returned them for credit. Now the GI Joes said sweetly, "Let's go shopping!" and the Barbies said, "Take that hill !"

Lots of room to have fun but I had to use my own voice.

We males may be programmed to pay more attention to female voices but 

the ones around me were too smart to let their voices become "bitch'in 

betty" 

Of course a large part of audio warning success is to avoid nuisance 

warnings that train our brains to ignore them.

In the late 1970's when we were living in Silicon Valley my dad had a start up high tech electronics firm. Since he was in the business he had lots of friends from all over the world who were all in Silicon Valley dreaming up all kinds of futuristic ideas. 



One such friend came over one night and he had a very small PC board with an integrated chip and a small microphone. This device would capture about 5 to 10 seconds of audio and record it in solid state on the chip... wow... no spinning records or magnetic tape. 

We all sat around the kitchen table and played with it and laughed and try to dream up ways that this device could be used. We had such ideas as a teddy bear, greeting card, Christmas ornament but that was about the extent of our creativity.

Fast forward 20 to 40 years and it is shocking that so many devices still use a goofy synthetic voice to say things like "autopilot"  or "too low flaps"  instead of a device with a recorded sexy female real person voice.

I also just remembered that in the late 1990s I was interviewing for a corporate Jet Pilot position with a Silicon Valley firm that was purchasing their first jet. 



During the interview I asked what their product line was and the principle explain to me that they had just invented a computer chip that could record 1000 songs on it. I remember him looking across the conference table and pointed to his thumbnail and said that this ship was only the size of a person's thumb nail and that it could record 1000 songs. I was amazed because a compact disc at the time would only record 40 songs. 

He said that he could not elaborate more about the product nor could he tell me what other companies he was going to be a vendor for with this revolutionary new product.

No voice actor royalties. 



On a more serious note. There was an article some months ago about a DIY stick shaker. I wonder if that might be a more effective alert tool for stall warning than any visual or audio alert. I'd never considered making one, but the execution would be relatively simple, as long as you have a signal source.
