Simplest voice activated car ignition

Hi.
I have quickly searched the site for something similar, but I've found quite the right thing - either two high-tech (speaker ident, etc) or just voice switch.

I envisage a system that can store just a single syllable word and 'unlock' the ignition on it's repeat.

pic's seem to be fairly common for projects of this scale, so I wonder is this the way to go or is there a cheap (ideally all in one) IC that is already setup for such a thing - ideally under £10 & easily available?

Cheers.

activation is not the problem here. How much 'identification' are you wanting the circuit to perform?

reacting to sound is simple. reacting to a SPECIFIC sound is not so simple. a dual tone decoding scheme would be simple to implement, a complex mixture of frequencies and timing(voice) would be VERY hard to implement.

Thanks - as I said I only require one syllable for the ident. Not the speaker.
I know there's ccts out there out to do this (& a lot more speech recognition wise) but they are relatively expensive.

A switch to drive a relay on the o/p...

Thanks.

It is the scheme used in all 'touch tone' phones. Pick up a phone and put it to your ear and press a button. The tone you hear is a mixture of two pure sinewave tones. Press the buttons aligned in a verticle row. You will hear a central 'note' and some variations in the background that is the second tone that is different for each button going vertically. Do the same with a horizontal row and you will hear a differrent 'note' that changes as you go across the buttons.

Each row and each column has a 'tone' assigned to it. pressing the button put the note for that row AND that column on the same line.
