The MFJ 495 CW keyer does that with CW. It has a PTT output 
that closes the moment the key is closed, but the actual CW to 
the radio is delayed an adjustable amount.

The main idea was a CW contesting interface with lockout for two 
radios on one band. It has a PTT or manual key input, so you can 
use external sources to key it.  Unfortunately it does not process 
audio. 

I had a DSP unit under works with internal VOX that would delay 
the audio output and split-band processing (with two/three tone test 
and other neat goodies) but no one ever wanted to market the 
project so I put it aside.
