4 Managing the RAMP Settings To gain access to RAMP s services, you must authenticate the app with a Site Name, Source ID, and Key ID. The Site Name and Source ID are both provided by RAMP.

5 Managing the Speech-to-Text (STX) 1 Models Speech has a number of Speech-to-Text models used to automatically create a transcript for an uploaded video. You can manage the STX models used on your SharePoint site in the RAMP Settings. 1. On the SharePoint RAMP app main page, click the List tab in the Ribbon. 2. In the Settings section of the tab, click the RAMP Settings button. 3. At the bottom of the Customer screen, click the Edit Allowed STXs link. If Use All Available Models is selected, you will have the option of using any RAMP STX model available for transcribing your videos. The list will also automatically update if RAMP adds any STX models to their model list. If Select Specific Models is selected, you can choose which STX models you want available for transcribing your videos. The list will not automatically update if RAMP adds any STX models to their model list. 1 Speech-to-Text (STX) - The transcription of spoken words into text by a computer. Accuracy of the RAMP speechto-text service is dependent on many factors, including speaker clarity, audio signal quality, level of background noise, subject matter, and others. In practice, clear, high-quality audio processed by RAMP can achieve speech-totext accuracy rates in the 90% range and higher as measured using Word Error Rate (WER), but be advised that your results may vary. RAMP provides managed services for deploying optimized speech-to-text models, as well as editorial services for creating closed caption quality transcripts. For more information on these services, please contact RAMP at [email protected]. 5

6 Managing the RAMP List The main screen for the RAMP app is where you can manage all of your videos on your SharePoint site. It is the central location for adding, changing, or deleting videos. When you first add the app, there are no videos in your video list. Uploading a Single Video You can immediately add videos into the RAMP app once it is added to your site. After a video is uploaded, it goes through a short processing period and is then available for viewing and sharing. To add a single item to the Videos list in the RAMP app: 1. Click the new item link above the sort and search fields. 2. In the New Item screen, you can either drag and drop a video onto the page (as seen below) or click the Select button and navigate to your video. It begins automatically uploading once dropped onto the page or selected. 3. As your video uploads, fill in the video information fields. A check mark next to the video name will indicate when your video has been uploaded. Field Name Title Speech-to-Text Model Media Description Publish Date Keywords Media Author Permission Information/Options Required Field Choose from drop-down menu; to edit available models go to RAMP Settings Description of your video Choose from calendar or enter in mm/dd/yyyy format Used to supplement the title, description, author, and transcript for search Media creator Can this video be shared outside of SharePoint? 6

The Bulk Upload process will automatically extract the Metadata in the video asset and populate the respective fields. To add multiple items to the Videos list in the RAMP app: 1. Click the Items tab in the Ribbon. 2. Click the Upload Multiple button in the New section. 3. In the Multiple New Items screen, you can either drag and drop videos onto the page or click the Select button and navigate to your videos. The videos begin automatically uploading once dropped onto the page or selected. 7

12 Sharing Videos RAMP for SharePoint Online provides the option to share videos through a few different options. If the video is internal only, you can share the video within your company through Outlook, Yammer, or a login-needed SharePoint URL. If the video was uploaded with public permissions, you can copy an embed code 1. In the RAMP app main page, choose the video you want to share and navigate to that video s page. 2.

If the video has public permissions, you can copy an embed code and place it on an external site for viewing. 12
