TeamSpeak 3 is currently in its final stages of development and is the future product to continue the legacy of the original TeamSpeak communication system previously offered in versions 1.5 and 2.x. TeamSpeak 3 is not merely an extension of its predecessors but rather a complete rewrite in C++ of its proprietary protocol and core technology.

 

With over seven years of experience and leadership in the VoIP sector, our engineers have created a flexible, powerful, and scalable solution granting you the ability to customize and tailor your voice communication needs any way you desire. New users and TeamSpeak veterans alike will now enjoy a completely new experience in voice communication using TeamSpeak 3's unmatched functionality and powerful new features.

 

Improved Voice Quality

 

TeamSpeak 3's voice quality is truly revolutionary. Featuring completely new codecs, automatic microphone adjustment, advanced noise reduction, and echo cancelation TeamSpeak 3 offers only the highest quality in voice communication. TeamSpeak 3 users can finally say goodbye to echo, feedback, and background buzzing noises as the evolution of quality voice communication has arrived.

 

Improved Client

 

The next generation TeamSpeak 3 Client has been highly improved compared to its predecessors. For starters, the Client is now available as a full-featured, cross-platform solution for Windows (32bit and 64bit), Macintosh (Intel and PPC), and Linux (32bit and 64bit). In addition, the Client's interface has been completely redesigned, providing a professional new look and intuitive user interface. The interface itself can be fully customized, allowing users to further alter the look and feel of the Client. Advanced users can even write mods or addons to suit their needs.

 

Raising the Bar

 

TeamSpeak 3 was designed with cutting edge hardware in mind. Thus, it will have full support for the latest G-keys from Logitech® in addition to other currently unannounced hardware manufacturers. The TeamSpeak 3 Client also has the ability to connect to multiple servers at once using "tabs" similar to what is found in most web browsers so now you can administer or participate in multiple TeamSpeak 3 Servers at the same time. In addition, support for multiple audio devices and outputs over simultaneously connected servers is also available.

 

Introducing 3D Sound

 

TeamSpeak 3 now features fully integrated 3D Sound support which allows for spatial placement of sound effects and audio streams. This creates the illusion of a sound source being placed anywhere in three dimensional space, including behind, to the left of, to the right of, above, or below the listener. The possibilities and applications of 3D Sound are virtually endless with TeamSpeak 3.

Improved Server

 

The all new TeamSpeak 3 Server represents years of engineering experience creating a powerful, highly scalable VoIP solution. The Server now introduces a Server Query system (formerly TCP Query) which allows powerful scripting and automation tools to be built based on the exact same instruction set and functionality provided by the TeamSpeak 3 Client. In addition, the TeamSpeak 3 Server features a completely overhauled, powerful permissions system with the ability to dynamically create, define, and apply group permissions as you see fit. This provides server administrators superior control and effective tools for managing and building social networks.

 

Improved Licensing System

 

The TeamSpeak 3 Server introduces a completely new licensing system containing simplified, automatic, and effective tracking of all of your licensed TeamSpeak Servers. The former, tedious "registration by IP" process has been replaced with an encrypted key which will allow your TeamSpeak Server environment to be tracked and licensed automatically. The TeamSpeak 3 Client application will also indicate to users the type of license your server is operating under.

 

Looking for More?

 

The TeamSpeak 3 Client also features a new Bookmarks Manager which allows users to store their favorite servers similar to storing favorites within your web browser. Sound packs can also be customized and exported so users can tweak sounds and announcements such as "player joined" in TeamSpeak 3. In addition, a highly improved text-chat window will now allow you to type to your team mates in a manner similar to most popular instant messaging applications. Still looking for more? How about powerful Lua scripting capabilities allowing endless possibilities for Client customization, plus an all new key bindings module with improved support for joysticks, mouse buttons, and other hardware...and if that's not enough, then stay tuned to our website as additional features will soon be revealed!

 

TeamSpeak 3...prepare to rethink the possibilities.

 

Just found this out... Will it replace mumble?

Doubt it, The PR DEVs and the Mumble DEVs have been working together on putting Mumble into PR in the future.

At least they are trying something new. Personally, I rated TS below Vent and Mumble, based on it's feature set and sound quality.

 

If they raise that bar, then all is good. Let's see what games are supported with the 3D feature.

Never used mumble but I rate TS much higher then vent.

 

SO much easier to use and have never ever had problems with it.
