I can see it's been a while since you asked, but did you find an answer?
I'm currently using a Pi ZeroW with a mix hat array and tiny speaker and it's frustrating me because it falls off the wifi... so I need to replace it.
Is Voice PE worth it?
I ended up just plugging it into a speaker we already had. It isn't ideal as I also used that speaker for my record player so I have to swap the cables over when I want to play a record but other than that it works.
The Voice PE is pretty good though (other than its speaker not being great) I haven't had any issue with dropped connections and the click wheel is really nice.
Ok, thanks
