Announce Calls (Accessibility Spoken Content) App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 朗读来电 & Siri 来电播报 zh-Hans Copy

Your en-US listing markets Announce Calls — Apple's built-in accessibility setting under Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Announce Calls — where Siri speaks incoming Phone and FaceTime caller names aloud when the user wears AirPods, compatible headphones, or is connected to CarPlay — but the China App Store product page still shows English title, subtitle, description, and caption lines. Announce Calls speaks caller identification through headphones or CarPlay — not Speak Selection selected-text read-aloud (朗读所选内容), not Speak Screen full-page narration (整屏朗读), not Typing Feedback keyboard speech (键入反馈), not a generic Spoken Content hub paragraph, not Announce Notifications notification speech (朗读通知), not Call Screening reason-before-ringing flows, not Silence Unknown Callers mute settings, not Live Voicemail transcription, not CallKit VoIP incoming-call UI engineering, not the built-in Phone app hub alone, and not Live Speech type-to-speak. Mentioning Announce Calls on your US page does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row. AppLocale rewrites paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields that describe your existing caller-announcement and 朗读来电 story — not CallKit engineering, not custom incoming-call screen design, not screenshot design. Listing copy only — we do not implement Announce Calls in your app, we do not guarantee rank, and we do not invent reviews or metrics. Seller: Fortune Insight, LLC. Not QuantRadar.

Who this is for

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

If users highlight text and hear only the selection spoken, see Speak Selection listing (zh-Hans). If users hear full pages read aloud with Speak Screen, see Speak Screen listing (zh-Hans). If users hear characters spoken while typing, see Typing Feedback listing (zh-Hans). If users hear Siri read notification content through headphones, see Announce Notifications listing (zh-Hans). If your lead story is Call Screening reason-before-ringing flows, see Call Screening listing (zh-Hans). If your lead story is Silence Unknown Callers, see Silence Unknown Callers listing (zh-Hans). If your lead story is Live Voicemail transcription, see Live Voicemail listing (zh-Hans). If your lead story is CallKit native VoIP incoming-call UI — not caller-announcement accessibility — see CallKit listing (zh-Hans). If your lead story is the built-in Phone app dialer and recents hub, see Phone app listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Announce Calls engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

US/EU indie teams conflate spoken caller-ID capability with storefront language. iOS Settings and App Store Connect actually separate them:

An app that ships call-aware flows in the binary and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Announce Calls and spoken caller-ID delivery on the store page, not how you implement CallKit or custom incoming-call UI.

What Apple Announce Calls is — and what your listing may claim

Apple ships Announce Calls under Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Announce Calls. When enabled and the user wears AirPods, compatible headphones, or uses CarPlay, Siri can speak incoming Phone and FaceTime caller names aloud. Western indie listings often show one or more of these surfaces on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:

Your gallery may lead with an AirPods caller-announcement demo on one frame and a CarPlay incoming-call speech badge on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — an Announce Calls toggle sheet is not a CallKit answer screen, and a headphone caller-ID demo is not Call Screening reason cards unless that is what the screenshot shows.

Announce Calls listing copy vs Announce Notifications, Call Screening, and other speech guides

Several shop guides cover adjacent Apple Accessibility speech and telephony features. This page covers Announce Calls and spoken caller-ID marketing on listing metadata — not engineering, not unrelated category copy:

You can localize the title and still leave every Announce Calls screenshot overlay and headphone-caller-ID demo paragraph English-only. Buyers then see a Chinese name with English "Announce Calls" badges — a mismatch that reads like half-finished localization. See also China App Store still shows English when entire rows fall back.

Where English Announce Calls copy shows on the China product page

Western indie teams often market spoken caller-ID or Announce Calls compatibility on the US page but leave storefront call-speech marketing English-only. On the China storefront, English surfaces in places buyers actually read:

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps eyes-free and headphone-accessibility buyers understand your Announce Calls story before install. It does not replace CallKit implementation, custom incoming-call UI work, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not require you to re-shoot an entire headphone-caller-ID screenshot gallery to mention 朗读来电 in text.

What AppLocale delivers for Announce Calls apps on zh-Hans

This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Announce Calls and spoken caller-ID marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:

We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Announce Calls, Siri caller-name speech, AirPods announcements, or CarPlay incoming-call speech — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent caller-announcement features your app does not describe.

Announce Calls-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently

Spoken caller-ID marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe Announce Calls in iOS Settings — not a literal paste of US marketing:

Official Settings vocabulary

Apple's zh-Hans Settings UI uses 朗读来电 for Announce Calls under 辅助功能 → 口述内容 (Spoken Content). Related commerce phrasing includes 来电播报 (incoming-call announcement), 来电朗读 (call read-aloud), AirPods 朗读来电 (AirPods announce calls), CarPlay 朗读来电 (CarPlay announce calls), and 口述内容 when your gallery shows the Spoken Content settings branch — not as a standalone hub title. Listing copy should mirror that vocabulary — not generic telephony marketing or medical claims.

Announce Calls vs Call Screening and Silence Unknown Callers

Call Screening covers unknown-caller reason flows before you answer — 来电筛选. Silence Unknown Callers covers muting or sending unknown numbers to voicemail — 静音未知来电. Announce Calls covers Siri speaking caller names through headphones or CarPlay — 朗读来电. zh-Hans listing copy should not imply screening or mute behavior when your English source only shows headphone caller-announcement toggles or CarPlay speech demos.

Announce Calls vs Live Voicemail and CallKit

Live Voicemail covers real-time transcription while callers leave a message — 实时语音留言. CallKit covers VoIP apps reporting to the native incoming-call interface. Announce Calls covers spoken caller identification for ringing Phone and FaceTime calls — 朗读来电. If your English gallery shows only a CallKit answer screen or voicemail transcription line with no Announce Calls toggle, see the CallKit listing guide or Live Voicemail listing guide instead.

Announce Calls vs Announce Notifications and Speak Selection

Announce Notifications speaks notification content through Siri — 朗读通知. Speak Selection reads highlighted existing text — 朗读所选内容. Speak Screen reads everything visible on screen — 朗读屏幕. Announce Calls speaks incoming caller names for Phone and FaceTime — 朗读来电. If your English gallery shows a notification banner speech demo or context-menu Speak action, do not upgrade zh-Hans copy to Announce Calls claims unless that is what the frame shows.

Announce Calls vs Typing Feedback and Live Speech

Typing Feedback speaks keyboard input as you type — 键入反馈. Live Speech speaks user-typed phrases in conversations — 实时语音. Announce Calls speaks caller names for system incoming calls — 朗读来电. Different input sources and buyer stories.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need call-speech search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 朗读来电 and 来电播报 each signal different intent from 来电筛选 or 朗读通知 keywords.

Caption lines vs burned-in badges

Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Announce Calls" headlines on gallery frames showing headphone caller-ID demos — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.

Why English-only Announce Calls copy hurts China storefront conversion

Headphone-accessibility and eyes-free calling purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate caller-speech claims in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:

Clearer zh-Hans Announce Calls marketing reduces confusion on the product page. It does not replace CallKit implementation or in-app telephony engineering — and it is not a substitute for driving-safety or medical positioning your app does not claim.

Why machine-translated Announce Calls copy fails

Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished Announce Calls strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what caller-speech scope you claim — while keeping accurate separation from Call Screening, Announce Notifications, Speak Selection, and CallKit marketing. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.

What good zh-Hans Announce Calls listing copy looks like

Spoken caller-ID copy appears on screenshot galleries and in description skims. Strong Chinese strings lead with the benefit and state scope plainly:

zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying Announce Calls story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.
