Looked at the same one. Best info of this prog from one of the reviews:

It Works but keep it up-to-date
First the CON: Not all the characters show up. Special characters, specifically. Might be a matter of selecting the correct font in PlayClaw.
OTHER COMMENTS: I had PlayClaw a few months ago. I got a new hard drive and reinstalled everything. It worked once again, but then I didn't use TeamSpeak for another few weeks and when I launched TS and looked at the plugins, it said the PlayClaw plugin was invalid. This problem was easily fixed by reinstalling PlayClaw and copying the new file over to the correct directory. I'm guessing the need for the PlayClaw update was because of the TS3 update as well.
I don't have the registered version, just the free unregistered one. The only difference is that you'll see text where the names on TS that are talking, pop up and it will say "Unregistered". It's a minor nuisance but I can live with it.
Note that you copy the right file over. First of all, get the correct version of TS3 for your computer (32-bit or 64-bit). There are separate files for 32-bit and 64-bit that you will need depending on the version of TS3 you install. If you have a 64-bit machine, install the 64-bit TS3 and copy over the 64-bit PlayClaw plugin.
I now know who is talking while in game. Love it! "
So... the trial version is worth a test i believe.
other alternatives:
- if with friends use skype it should have the overlay popup of who's shouting in your ear.
- be a nut and plug a second monitor if you have a spare as slave clone and put the progs like xfire, teamspeak etc on that and see it all.
But with one monitor Playclaw looks like a good options. haven't tested it myself though.
