The FarmTTS Q-SYS Plugin is a tool used to dynamically convert any text string to spoken word audio in real time. The text to be converted can either be entered during programming and triggered for conversion in runtime (fixed announcements) OR the text string can be dynamically generated and converted, all in runtime (dynamic announcements). Using Google's DeepMind AI Technology, the FarmTTS plugin provides users the ability to select between many different voices in multiple languages, automatically translate the provided string to the selected language and adjust the speed as well as the pitch.

Applications:

Dynamic Emergency Evacuation Announcements

Dynamic Courtesy Announcements

Transportation Arrival/Departure Announcements

Audible Status Reports

Simply drop the plugin into your design from the Asset Manager in Q-SYS Designer or download the plugin using the link below for a 30 day free trial! Use the Buy Now section on the right to select the desired license duration and purchase a license. Your new license will be operational within 10 minutes of a completed purchase.

Custom license durations and character conversion maximums are also available! Please contact Support to learn more.

How do I install and use the FarmTTS plugin?
The FarmTTS plugin can be installed by adding the resource from the Q-SYS Asset Manager or by downloading and installing the file using the link below. Once added to your design, use the Setting Tab to configure the plugin and provide your email address to start your 30 day trial. Once the design is pushed to the Core, you should receive an email with a link to return to this site to purchase a license.

What happens if I purchase a new license before the current license has expired?
The number of days remaining on your current, non-trial license will be added to the duration of your new license. For instance, if you have 10 days left when you purchase a new 1 year license, your new license will last for 375 days. Days remaining on a Trial License will not rollover to a new license when purchased. Up to 1 million characters of unused character conversions will rollover and be added to the maximum number of character conversions available on your new license.

How many characters am I able to convert with each license?
Maximum Characters per License:
Trial License: 250,000
30 Day License: 500,000
All Annual Licenses: 10,000,000 per year

What if I need more trial time (project delays, etc.)?
Contact Support to request a longer trial period or to restart the Trial License if yours has expired. Please provide an explanation as not all requests for trial extension can be granted.

Can I start a new trial if a new version of the plugin becomes available?
A new trial period can be started for plugins on expired licenses with each major version upgrade. This does not apply to minor version upgrades. Simply install the newly upgraded version for the new trial period to start automatically.

What if I want a longer license or a larger number of maximum characters than what is available?
Custom license duration and character conversion maximums can be provided upon request. Contact Support to describe the length and size needed and a license price quote will be provided.

Why do you need my email address and what it is used for?
Your email address is used to send reminders and provide a link to access this website to purchase the appropriate licenses. The Farm AV may also send usage reports and occasionally send product announcements. You may opt out of one or all three of these email categories, however, if you opt out of receiving "Notifications" emails, you will not be warned when your license is nearing expiration. Click on the "Unsubscribe" button found at the bottom of any FarmTTS email (sent by Farmisee Admin) to change your email preferences.

What happens when my license expires?
A grace period of approximately 7 days is provided before the plugin will stop functioning. If you have not unsubscribed from the email notification service, you will receive several emails before the license expires. Use the link provided in the emails to return to this website and purchase a new license.

What happens if the plugin stops functioning properly?
If it is determined that the plugin failed to work properly due to a problem caused by The Farm AV or Google Cloud Services, a refund prorated for the number of days the service was not operational will be issued. Please contact Support for additional information.

What do I do if I purchased a license using the wrong Core Locking ID?
Please contact Support and provide the email address used, the Core Locking ID used (if available) and the Locking ID of the Core you intended to use the FarmTTS plugin on. Also provide your contact information if it is different than the email address used to purchase the license so that we may contact you to let you know when the Core Locking ID has been updated.

How do I move a licensed plugin to a Core with a differnet Locking ID?
Please contact Support and provide the email address and the Core Locking ID used to purchase the license as well as the Locking ID of the Core you intended to use the FarmTTS plugin on. Also provide your contact information if it is different than the email address used to purchase the license so that we may contact you to let you know when the Core Locking ID has been updated.
