Hi, I made the Speech Pro. Indeed, as stated prior, the original intent was to actually treat these as an item used in conjunction with a mute trait. However that trait got denied, but the idea of the Speech Pro was cool enough that there was demand to add it to the game regardless, but since it was no longer tied to a trait it seemed less sensible to be printed in fabs.
I still think it would be cool if that was possible, specifically the medical fabricator, because it actually helps a lot of the speech impediment mutations in the (perhaps unlikely) event that they run out of mutadone. It's also a quicker way to communicate short phrases or ideas with particularly hard to understand accents without having to go "Ugh, hold on, I'll grab a pen and paper". I didn't quite understand the idea that it would reduce communication, if anything the intent was to improve communication for people that suffer from being unable to properly communicate, either by choice or by misfortune.
