I am  looking for a manufacturer that makes a removeable voice module [AKA sound 
box] that a person can record a two minute continuous message on with
playback ability.  It will be placed in a soft doll or stuffed animal.
 The module should have an on and off switch an be approximately 2
1/2" wide, 3 1/2" high and 2" deep or smaller.  It should have a push
button on it to activate the module and the voice mechanism battery
lid is to be secured with a phillips head screw.

Hello -

Would a company that can custom build this to your specifications be
acceptable, or must it be an existing product?

It does not have to be an existing product.  It could be custom built. I will be
needing many of these in the future if I approve the design.

Hello -

Here are several companies which should be able to meet your needs for
a custom design.  Please let me know if you require any further
information.  Thank you.

Here's another company that is specifically in the toy industry; this
may be the place to call first:

Rehtmayer Inc.

31 W Downer PL. Suite 100 
Aurora, IL 60506 USA
630.906.9304

Nearest I can find with brief search is a product from ?CPC?, a UK
company, and it won?t do you I?m afraid.

It?s doubtful if an off-the-shelf will meet your exact requirements
but it wouldn?t be difficult to build. For suitable chips, check out

You didn?t specify the country so I can?t recommend suppliers but they
are surprisingly cheap.
