Chinese Closed Captioning plays an important role in helping your videos reach a wider range of audiences, especially those who have hearing impairments, Chinese language learners, or people in public space where music and sound cannot be heard.
What’s more, having Chinese captions on your videos is key to attract more engagement from social media users as most videos on social media platforms play mute in default. Closed captions display both dialogues, soundtracks, speakers’ names, and other audio information, thus, people using social media can easily understand the content of the videos and react to them. In 2019, there were around 882 million social media users in China (according to Statista). The number speaks for itself. If you do not have Chinese closed captions on your videos, there is a high chance that you are missing out on plenty of audiences.
Having a team of professional native Chinese captioners, GTE Media is confident to bring you best-in-class Chinese closed captioning services. We support a wide range of video formats and platforms thanks to our technical expert team.
