Help with a project - Audio guestbook

Hi,

I will preface this by saying I'm COMPLETELY new to Arduino - I basically know nothing.

I really want to create an audio guestbook. The outer shell of an old school telephone that plays a pre-recorded message and then records the guest's message to the couple.

Something like this https://www.fetefone.com/

I would normally just buy the product but it's not yet available in Australia and the ones that are, do not suit my theme.

My partner can code - But I need to know the feasibility of creating this without previous experience and if anyone can help me. I've tried googling how to do the wiring but I'm completely out of my depth and I've found no projects I can copy that are the same.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Depending on the codec, bitrate and length of messages, your first challenge will be storage. An SD card might help there.
But you will need a bit of RAM for the initial recording, maybe an ESP or similar will help out with that (and along with more RAM, ig is a lot faster to help with processing)

I was thinking I could keep it connected to the laptop to use as storage. Am I wrong in thinking that's possible?
