I'm not positive Toothy Ball Tim can converse on his own accord, but he can repeat messages, so it could be possible. Like how a parrot echoes and learns to communicate.

[ Tim Drake, though. Computer Programming Tim... The name sounds familiar, in the way reading a name in passing sounds familiar several years after first hearing it. He might have talked to Tim before, among many dozen others all at the same time; he'll have to go back through his messages to check. ]

Tim Drake sounds like a useful person to have, though. A computer programmer, when there might be something to learn from the application program.
