Once a stream group has been added to a template, schedule, or presentation, you can enable OCR detection on video and slide streams and slide generation on video streams.
When slide generation is enabled on a video stream, Mediasite automatically generates slides from the video stream. In on-demand presentations, the generated slides are used in place of secondary video streams on mobile devices and in the MultiView Player they appear when using the seek features.
You will enable OCR detection to extract text from slides. When a presentation with OCR detection enabled is published to Mediasite, OCR detection is automatically done for its slides. OCR detection allows users to search a presentation’s slide text by entering key words or phrases. Users can then use the search results to view the presentation at the times where the search term is found.
In cases where OCR detection or slide generation fails, Mediasite allows you to resubmit these jobs.
To enable OCR and slide generation on an individual presentation or template:
1. Navigate to the presentation or template you want to update.
2. Click a stream to view its OCR and slide generation settings.
3. Select the check box next to the feature you want to enable. Click the stream to close the dialog.
4. Click Save.
