RAMP Announces Major Enhancements to Award-Winning MediaCloud Platform Integrating Support for Amazon Web Services
August 13, 2012
RAMP, the leader in next generation search and video experiences, announced today at SpeechTEK 2012 in New York announced integration between its award-winning MediaCloud platform and Amazon Web Services. RAMP announced the launch of MediaCloud VM, with initial support for Amazon’s AWS. With MediaCould VM, developers can use RAMP’s industry leading speech recognition technology inside their existing AWS accounts, and integrate into their existing applications.
MediaCloud VM combines the power of RAMP’s core speech recognition technology with the ease of use of the AWS Marketplace. Audio or video files are dropped into a folder where they are processed and generate a rich XML output featuring time-coded and confidence-scored transcripts, as well as speaker turns and additional speech artifacts. Pricing is based on AWS machine time for easy tracking and transparency. RAMP will initially offer English telephony speech models with planned support for additional languages and models in the near future, as well as support additional IaaS platforms such as Microsoft Azure.
The launch of developer.ramp.com this Spring has been a big step for us in terms of more deeply integrating with our customers application development efforts,” said Joe Lichtman, VP Product for RAMP. “Launching MediaCloud VM in the AWS Marketplace is the logical next step, allowing customers to power their audio and video indexing needs within their existing accounts with all the scale and cost benefits virtualization brings to the table.”
