Talking Head

Hello, my students want to have a talking head and we are going to sync the servo controlling the jaw with the voice. I don't see anywhere how this can be done except through a pc. I am hoping to use the ez-b otherwise I may go back to arduino. Please advise on what additional hardware/software is needed to have 30 seconds of singing. Thank you FC
