An article by Ken Stanton in the July 1994 issue of QST magazine describes
a talking Morse Code machine that uses an 8051 and a simple DAC to play 
digitized speech.  The speech is compressed, and resides in a single 512K
EPROM.  Programs are included to digitize speech from a soundblaster.

It might be just what you are looking for.
