As mentioned in the Telepathy section the Endaasi do not have a spoken language but they communicate with telepaths. In cases of talking to a group, the Endaasi have several options. | As mentioned in the Telepathy section the Endaasi do not have a spoken language but they communicate with telepaths.

* | *'''Talk Boxes''' that translate thoughts to voice | ||
** | **These talk boxes are in a few chosen locations across the planet. They are installed in tables and it is not mobile. The Endaasi has to touch the padd which translates the Endaasi brain waves into speech. | ||
**Translations may be wrong or spotty as interpretation from Endaasi telepathy to words is not always accurate or possible | |||
*'''Comm Padds''' that mediate telepathic thought to a group | |||
**"''Squash-O placed a hand on his commpad, and “spoke.” His thoughts travelled through his hand, and onto the commpad. The pad connected to a conduit, filled with spiked electrolytic gel and signal boosters. Each researcher received the message through their commpads. Limited to touch telepathy, the Endaasi solution was to simply extend the range of touch. It had its limitations, of course: no way to direct thoughts to one person over another, no way to moderate the comm lines. Just a simple physical connection between Endaasi. But it was easier than gathering everyone together to hold hands. The invention of commpads eventually lead to Endaasi mind-computer interfaces, like their talkboxes. Of course, as an experimental and resource-intensive technology, there were precious few of those on Endaasi.''" ~ Squash-O/Lazarus Davis | **"''Squash-O placed a hand on his commpad, and “spoke.” His thoughts travelled through his hand, and onto the commpad.
