Luis,
I tried something similar back in the 1980s. My daughter had a Teddy Ruxpin (talking teddy bear) and this is exactly how it worked. He told stories and moved his limbs and mouth in sync. The cassette tape in the back was a stereo tape with voice on one channel and serial data on the other, probably something similar to the coco cassette protocol. Unfortunately, Teddy  was broken by my daughter's baby sitter before I had a chance to match the frequencies on the tape and make him work. I had a software scope by Bill Barden and was going to analyze the frequency of the data and try to duplicate it, then figure out the commands. Then I bought a disk drive and my cassette was never used again after I copied all my stuff over to disk.

Yesterday I bought a new cassette recorder with plug for atari particular.
Apart from being new impeccably. for which I am very happy
Seeking interner because not much of the atari basic (I guess similar to the 
coconut) 
I got a video on youtube that during loading cassette spoken instructions and 
have background music. Lone Raiders

Comment on the text that has 4 tracks atari (error 2 tracks).
And apparently one of the stereo channels will signal cassette with the program, 
and on the other channel could record game instructions or to hear music while 
charging.
This gave me some ideas for our coconut.
In another video I saw some basic lessons using dual tracks

apparently the program loads the lessons and do not know if it sounds wing voice 
or the voice is synthesized,
but the important thing is that the program asks the voice things and wait for 
the answer, and only continued if correct.
And I think if a stereo recorder could do the same
