Got a quick proof-of-concept running on the new weather station.  I've 
only got a few voice samples loaded, and they're not very consistent, 
but the playback works:

This borrows some code from the SR1 simplex repeater, but all of the 
recording and processing is done offline.  There's a mechanism to load 
voice samples (slowly) through the configuration program (in production 
the flash chips will be pre-loaded before assembly) so conceivably I 
could add a way to have your own announcements with things like location 
names.

Adding new languages should be really easy when there's no word order 
change.  Differences in number composition would require some code 
changes though - e.g., French with 'soixante-douze' ('sixty-twelve') 
instead of 'seventy-two'.  I'll just worry about English for now.
