“It’ not for the first time that Tecom Group comes up with a solution that helps TV broadcasters comply with legal requirements, this time – in regards of subtitle quality control. Working in close cooperation with the customer upon the detailed requirement list designed by him we managed to create a product that automates the subtitle file analysis thus significantly reducing manual operations and cutting extra hardware costs. We’d like to thank Pike Media Lab for their trust, as well as for productive collaboration while bringing a new solution for the market,” resumes Anatoly Zubashev, CEO at Tecom Group.
