Testbook, an end-to-end learning and assessment platform, has created a unique feature that enables students to download video lectures on their mobile phone and watch them without Internet any number of times. The Testbook mobile app has over 1.2 crore installs. The feature will help students in the Tier III and IV cities where Internet speeds are not very stable and consistent. What is more interesting is that Testbook has devised a proprietary algorithm that compresses these videos, making the download size very small and reduce the data cost at least by one third.
With Testbook’s feature, a complete good-quality video lecture of 45 minutes only takes ~40Mb (*at times it can take up to 100 Mb) of space. This is lesser than 1 MB per minute of the video without losing any clarity on mobile viewing and keeps the learner’s data usage under check. Testbook’s special DRM technology in the feature prevents the video lectures from being pirated.
Speaking about this, Ashutosh Kumar, CEO, Testbook, said: “We are proud to announce the launch of our new feature which will be a breakthrough in helping students in the remote locations to learn through video lectures without facing any technological or streaming issues. It is understood that the internet speed can be unstable in far-flung areas but with our feature, not only students can download the videos and watch multiple times but also save spending on their data.”
