I am not sure if this is even the right place, or the right product. Basically I am looking to create a voice activated checklist to plug into my airplanes intercom system. I want this to be 100% voice. Example:
I say before landing checklist:
Gear Down
I say gear down check
(then it goes to the next item)
Flaps 10 degrees
I say flaps 10 degrees check
Am I at the right place for this? And what would I need?
I think you're in the wrong place. Smartphone voice recognition (and voice synthesis, if you want this to be interactive) is astonishingly good these days. While voice recognition with the Arduino is possible, it's miles behind what can be achieved on a smartphone. If you implement your solution as a smartphone app that's also one less bit of equipment you have to carry around with you, keep charged up and so on.
An arduino will not play an MP3 file without extra hardware.
I would have thought a plug adaptor so your iPhone would fit would be far easier than anything and stands a chance of working.

Unfortunatly the Iphone will not plug into the headset.
That seems like a relatively minor problem in the scheme of things, and you're going to need to find a way to get an audio connection with the intercom system whichever approach you take. Really, doing it on a smartphone seems like a no-brainer to me..
