Voice Box

Hello,

I want to make a "voice box" (for lack of a better term). The idea is you push a button and it plays a recorded (stored on a sd card) saying at random. Has anyone seen something like this?

I was thinking of using an Arduino UNO with a sd card module, connecting a button and speakers. I'm not sure about where to start for the code. Can anybody push me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

You can look at this:

I recently made something very similar for a museum, in which you could select different war heroes interviews to listen to

Should be very easy, just a few lines of code really.

Upon button press you select a random number (from 0 to the number of tracks available), then play the corresponding track. When done wait for the next button press.

The DFPlayer is a popular mp3 player for use with Arduinos, and should do the job for this application.
