Keychain, reproduce audio. Similar to talking doll?

Hello guys, i need to make something very very very cheap, which needs to be built in ~10K peaces.

Thing is very basic, i have very simple and short audio which i need to reproduce once one button is pressed. It doesn’t need to be good sound, and it needs to be in a size of keychain.

Only one long word and that is all.

Please help me with a parts. I think piezo speaker could do that, (flat one like coin) but i don’t know if it is possible to make it without any microcontroller to “say” something". and as i said, i need something very cheap and easy to assemble, so if possible, without microcontroller??

If not, than what would be the most affordable and most easy to build option?

Chinese greeting card module. Some of them even record.

I’ll bet they are well under $1 in quantity.

  1. Search alibaba for what you want

  2. Email seller to ask about quantity discount

  3. Profit!!

10 cents each. You’re off a bit but not by much! I’m guessing that’s the price at 9,999 units. Still that’s under $1,000. Hardware is getting more and more commoditized and cheaper than ever.
