Another Speccy game with digitized speech is Chase HQ:

Although tbf apparently that's done via the AY sound chip of the 128k, which is a lot easier than through the on/off beeper of the 48k since the AY can do digitized audio via CPU-driven volume modulation.

There was also "Meteor Storm":

I think it said "Meteor Alert!" or something similar, though the quality was terrible.
