need help for voice alert

hi,

i want to construct a simple water level indicator with voice alert. My arduino have to say "tank is full please switch off the motor" in my voice that i recorded. I can understand that SD card shiled is needed to store my voice and speaker too.Please guide me to give link between the sd card voice and to the speaker.

Use an MP3 player shield (example: http://shop.boxtec.ch/player-shield-p-40699.html), it includes the necessary hardware to produce sound. You may have to add an amplifier but they are cheap in the phone accessory market.

hi,

Thank you Mr.pylon, it helps me. but i feel over all budget of the project will add if i buy mp3 shield. Is there any other alternative way.

There are basically two ways to make sound with an Arduino.
You can use Tones or a shield that plays a sound file.

Is there any other alternative way.

Is this one also over budget? Adafruit Wave Shield for Arduino Kit [v1.1] : ID 94 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits

If you wanna have understandable voice you must have some external hardware. Arduino itself can generate some tones but not voice.
