TalkMaster™ Focus Software.
The TalkMaster™ FOCUS Software Suite is the industry-leading IP audio software platform for managing all your Digital Acoustics IP audio endpoints. The base software is TalkMaster™ Solo, which comes free and provides the ability to set up and run an audio system with up to 250 IP endpoints and one operator running the system at a time. Optional add-on modules, listed on this page, expand the number of IP endpoints the system can handle (to the thousands), add additional concurrent operators, enable automated announcements and other functions, and provide additional capabilities.
TalkMaster™ Overview
TalkMaster™ FOCUS provides comprehensive capabilities for two-way communications, prerecorded or live announcements, emergency notifications, security verification, remote monitoring, and background audio across all IP intercoms, IP speakers, and IP amplifiers—managed from a single PC or distributed across multiple operator stations.
The TalkMaster software suite delivers the options, features, and functionality to fit your specific application requirements. Software Development Kits (SDKs) are available to create custom applications that interact with TalkMaster™ FOCUS or run independently.

TalkMaster Software Offerings

Single Operator Systems
Start small and simple with a single-operator system from Digital Acoustics. TalkMaster™ FOCUS software enables you to implement IP intercoms, IP paging with IP amplifiers and IP speakers, and other communication capabilities into your security and operations systems—all managed by a single operator controlling up to 250 IP audio endpoints (purchase the Enterprise Operator Module to expand to unlimited).
Enterprise, Multi-Operator Systems
For more demanding and complex deployments that require multiple operators and/or thousands of endpoints, add additional TalkMaster™ FOCUS Enterprise Operator licenses to your TalkMaster™ FOCUS software platform. Each Enterprise Operator can be configured to manage different groups of IP intercoms and/or IP paging groups. During peak activity periods, TalkMaster™ FOCUS can automatically route incoming calls to additional operators to improve workflows.
- TalkMaster™ FOCUS scales to thousands of endpoints and hundreds of operators
- Add redundancy capabilities for critical communication systems with our patented Fail Forward™ feature
- Assign one or more groups of IP intercoms or IP speakers to operators, both locally and across the internet
- Add scheduled and automated events, text-to-speech, extended IP phone connectivity, and more

Automated Systems
Reduce headcount and automate tasks to make life easier. The TalkMaster™ FOCUS Automation Tool replaces many common, repetitive human interactions with smart software to automate IP audio alerts and event-based messages.
- Build systems that do not require human interaction using “if this, then that” event-building capabilities
- Respond to IP endpoint sensors and contact closures by sending automatic IP paging announcements
- Schedule IP paging announcements or contact closures based on day and time
- Monitor RSS and CAP/ATOM feeds to create IP paging emergency notifications or informational announcements with text-to-speech and audio file playback capabilities
- All system activity is logged to the TalkMaster™ FOCUS server for administrator review

TalkMaster Focus Fail Forward™ /VM License
SKU: SW-TMF-FF
Here is the text rewritten only for spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Wording and meaning are preserved: If you have a mission‑critical application, consider upgrading to a TalkMaster FOCUS Fail‑Forward/VM license. If you are running TalkMaster on more than one server and a server goes down, running TalkMaster FOCUS with the Fail‑Forward/VM license will automatically move operation of TalkMaster FOCUS to an operating server and will automatically switch back when the server comes back up.A Solution For Every Need
