News Files - Transformers Vocal Synth

A vocal synthesiser, or "vocal synth" for short, is a component that allows Cybertronians to comprehend and speak other languages. Without the aid of a vocal synth, a Cybertronian can usually only communicate via their native language, Neocybex. Some understand old Cybex, or even ancient Protocybex, but most Cybertronians can only speak Neocybex. Regional dialects exist, giving it a multitude of accents.

Basic spoken fluency of an extracybestrial language can usually be attained within 480 hours of exposure. Difficult languages might take 720 hours of exposure, or more. Most Cybertronians learn new languages while disguised. A bilingual dictionary, spoken verbally, or with pronunciation data, will greatly increase their ability to learn new languages. Vocal synths cannot be created through standard medical practices.
