Audio Descriptions (Described Video) App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 口述影像 & 音频描述 zh-Hans Copy
Your en-US listing markets Audio Descriptions — Apple's built-in accessibility setting under Settings → Accessibility → Hearing → Audio Descriptions — where iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS play spoken narration describing visual action during pauses in dialogue on supported movies and TV with described-video tracks — but the China App Store product page still shows English title, subtitle, description, and caption lines.
Audio Descriptions plays pre-authored described-video narration tracks — not Closed Captions + SDH on-screen text subtitles (隐藏式字幕), not Live Caption real-time speech subtitles (实时字幕), not Magnifier Image Descriptions camera scene narration (图像描述), not VoiceOver screen reader navigation (旁白), not Speak Screen full-page read-aloud (朗读屏幕), not App Preview video captions on the product page, not Mono Audio channel combining, not Live Listen remote microphone streaming, and not a generic Spoken Content hub paragraph.
Mentioning Audio Descriptions 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 described-video and AD track accessibility story — not AVFoundation AD track engineering, not described-video player UI code, not screenshot design.
Listing copy only — we do not implement Audio Descriptions in your app, we do not guarantee rank, and we do not invent reviews or metrics.

Western indie iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship or market an app whose buyers rely on Audio Descriptions — streaming, video, education, or accessibility apps that pair with iOS described-video tracks, or gallery frames that show Settings → Hearing → Audio Descriptions toggles
Market Audio Descriptions, described video, Works with Audio Descriptions, or 口述影像 / 音频描述 / 描述性音频 / 描述性视频 on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished media playback or described-video-adjacent UX in the binary — not looking for AVFoundation audio-description track engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Audio Descriptions gallery frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for AD track APIs, not a designer to re-export every described-video screenshot from scratch
Audio Descriptions engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
US/EU indie teams conflate described-video capability with storefront language. iOS Settings and App Store Connect actually separate them:
Audio Descriptions on the device — when enabled under Settings → Accessibility → Hearing → Audio Descriptions, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS play spoken narration describing visual action during pauses in dialogue on supported movies and TV with described-video tracks. System accessibility behavior — outside AppLocale scope.
AVFoundation audio-description tracks & described-video player UI — in-app code that loads AD narration tracks, syncs described audio with video playback, or detects system Audio Descriptions preferences. Engineering inside the binary — not listing rewrite.
Audio Descriptions marketing on the product page — description paragraphs, subtitle positioning, keywords, promotional text, and screenshot overlays that tell buyers your app supports Audio Descriptions, described video, or AD track workflows. Connect text fields — this page.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China storefront. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and screenshot caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of how strongly your US listing markets Audio Descriptions.
An app that ships described-video-aware media playback in the binary and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Audio Descriptions accessibility on the store page, not whether AD narration tracks render inside your video player.
What Apple Audio Descriptions is — and what your listing may claim
Apple ships Audio Descriptions under Settings → Accessibility → Hearing → Audio Descriptions. When enabled, the device plays spoken narration describing visual action during pauses in dialogue on supported movies and TV with described-video tracks. 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:
Audio Descriptions toggle (口述影像 / 音频描述) — master switch that enables described-video narration on supported media. Gallery frames may show the Hearing settings branch or a Works with Audio Descriptions badge.
Described-video playback in your app — in-app video players, streaming sessions, or lesson modules that respect system Audio Descriptions when AD tracks are available. Screenshot overlays often show described-video controls or AD track indicators on video frames.
Works with Audio Descriptions marketing — when your English listing claims compatibility with Apple's system described-video toggle. zh-Hans copy should use 口述影像 or 音频描述 aligned with iOS Settings — not generic 朗读 (read-aloud) vocabulary.
tvOS and cross-device described video — when your English listing shows Apple TV or tvOS Audio Descriptions workflows alongside iPhone playback. zh-Hans copy should name the correct platform per frame.
Your gallery may lead with an Audio Descriptions settings toggle on one frame and an in-app video player with described-video controls on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — a Hearing settings toggle is not a Magnifier camera narration overlay, and a Closed Captions text bar is not an Audio Descriptions narration track unless that is what the screenshot shows.
Audio Descriptions listing copy vs Closed Captions, Image Descriptions, and other speech guides
Several shop guides cover adjacent Apple Accessibility hearing, vision, and caption features. This page covers Audio Descriptions and described-video marketing on listing metadata — not engineering, not unrelated category copy:
Audio Descriptions and described-video narration (this page) — spoken narration of visual action on supported movies and TV, Works with Audio Descriptions, and 口述影像 / 音频描述 / 描述性音频 on gallery frames and in description paragraphs.
Closed Captions + SDH on-screen subtitles (different) — embedded closed-caption and SDH text subtitle tracks on media — 隐藏式字幕, 听障字幕. Covered on our Closed Captions listing guide when on-screen text captions are your lead claim — not spoken visual narration. Closed Captions displays timed text; Audio Descriptions plays spoken descriptions of visuals.
Magnifier Image Descriptions camera narration (different) — Detection Mode camera scene narration when pointing at real-world objects — 图像描述. See Image Descriptions listing guide — live camera narration, not movie/TV described-video AD tracks.
Live Caption real-time speech subtitles (different) — on-device speech-to-text captions for heard audio in conversations and media — 实时字幕. Covered on our Live Caption listing guide when real-time generated captions are your lead claim — not pre-authored described-video narration. Live Caption transcribes speech; Audio Descriptions narrates visuals.
App Preview video captions (different) — timed subtitle lines on your App Store product-page preview video. See App Preview captions listing guide — store marketing preview scripts in Connect, not iOS Settings Audio Descriptions behavior.
VoiceOver & screen reader (different) — screen reader navigation — 旁白. See VoiceOver listing guide — UI navigation accessibility, not described-video narration tracks on media.
Speak Screen & Speak Selection read-aloud (different) — full-page or selected-text read-aloud under Spoken Content. See Speak Screen listing guide or Speak Selection listing guide — on-screen text narration, not described-video AD tracks.
Live Listen & Hearing Devices (different) — remote microphone streaming and MFi hearing-aid pairing. See Live Listen listing guide or Hearing Devices listing guide — conversation amplification and hardware pairing, not described-video narration.
You can localize the title and still leave every Audio Descriptions screenshot overlay and described-video demo paragraph English-only. Buyers then see a Chinese name with English "Audio Descriptions" badges — a mismatch that reads like half-finished localization. See also China App Store still shows English when entire rows fall back.
Where English Audio Descriptions copy shows on the China product page
Western indie teams often market described-video accessibility on the US page but leave storefront AD marketing English-only. On the China storefront, English surfaces in places buyers actually read:
Screenshot overlay badges — "Audio Descriptions", "Described video", "Works with Audio Descriptions", "AD tracks" on gallery frames showing described-video controls or Hearing settings toggles
Description paragraphs — English value props about blind and low-vision media accessibility or described-video support that China readers skim past
Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 口述影像, 音频描述, or 描述性视频 when buyers filter for described-video apps
Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching Audio Descriptions compatibility in English above the description
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but Audio Descriptions screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 that conflates 口述影像 (Audio Descriptions) with 隐藏式字幕 (Closed Captions), 图像描述 (Image Descriptions), or 实时字幕 (Live Caption) when your English source only claimed described-video AD tracks
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps blind and low-vision buyers understand your Audio Descriptions story before install. It does not replace AVFoundation AD track implementation, described-video player engineering, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not require you to re-shoot an entire described-video screenshot gallery to mention 口述影像 in text.
What AppLocale delivers for Audio Descriptions apps on zh-Hans
This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Audio Descriptions marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:
Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal described-video accessibility to China searchers
Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference Audio Descriptions compatibility or described-video support without stuffing raw English badge text
Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 口述影像, 音频描述, 描述性视频, and described-video apps in your category
Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on described-video workflows you already claim — without English-only "Audio Descriptions" jargon
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show described-video controls or AD toggles ("支持口述影像", "音频描述更友好", "描述性视频无障碍")
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on described-video promises
We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Audio Descriptions, described video, or AD track support — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent described-video features your app does not describe.
Audio Descriptions-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently
Described-video marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe Audio Descriptions in iOS Settings — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Official Settings vocabulary
Apple's zh-Hans Settings UI uses 口述影像 for Audio Descriptions under 辅助功能 → 听觉 → 口述影像 (Accessibility → Hearing → Audio Descriptions). Commerce phrasing also includes 音频描述 (audio description), 描述性音频 (descriptive audio), and 描述性视频 (described video) when your gallery shows described-video workflows. Listing copy should mirror that vocabulary — not generic 朗读 (read-aloud) alone when your English source specifically claimed Audio Descriptions.
Audio Descriptions vs Closed Captions
Closed Captions + SDH displays embedded text caption and SDH subtitle tracks on media — 隐藏式字幕, 听障字幕. Audio Descriptions plays spoken narration describing visual action during dialogue pauses — 口述影像, 音频描述. zh-Hans listing copy should not imply 隐藏式字幕 when your English source only shows described-video AD track toggles or narration demos.
Audio Descriptions vs Magnifier Image Descriptions
Image Descriptions covers Magnifier Detection Mode camera scene narration — pointing the camera to hear spoken descriptions of real-world objects — 图像描述. Audio Descriptions covers described-video narration tracks on movies and TV — 口述影像. If your English gallery shows a Magnifier camera overlay, do not upgrade zh-Hans copy to movie AD vocabulary unless that is what the frame shows.
Audio Descriptions vs Live Caption
Live Caption generates real-time speech-to-text subtitles for heard audio — 实时字幕. Audio Descriptions plays pre-authored spoken narration of visual action — 口述影像. If your English gallery shows Live Caption speech-to-text overlays, keep zh-Hans copy on 实时字幕 vocabulary, not described-video AD claims.
Audio Descriptions vs VoiceOver and Speak Screen
VoiceOver navigates the UI as a screen reader — 旁白. Speak Screen reads on-screen text aloud — 朗读屏幕. Audio Descriptions plays described-video narration tracks embedded in supported media — 口述影像. If your English gallery shows a VoiceOver rotor or Speak Screen swipe gesture, keep zh-Hans copy on screen-reader or read-aloud vocabulary, not described-video claims.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need described-video search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 口述影像, 音频描述, and 描述性视频 each signal different intent from 隐藏式字幕 or 图像描述 keywords.
Caption lines vs burned-in badges
Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Audio Descriptions" headlines on gallery frames showing described-video controls — 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 Audio Descriptions copy hurts China storefront conversion
Blind and low-vision purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate described-video claims in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
Trust gap — Chinese word-of-mouth recommends a "described-video friendly" streaming app; buyer taps through and sees English "Audio Descriptions" with no zh-Hans context
Localized listing, English badges — description promises Chinese 口述影像 support; screenshot overlays still "Described video" at the worst moment
Search intent miss — buyers search 口述影像 or 音频描述; English-only keywords miss intent even when your app ships described-video-aware playback in the binary
Closed Captions vocabulary bleed — machine-translated 隐藏式字幕 appearing in zh-Hans copy when English source only claimed spoken AD narration, confusing buyers who wanted described video not on-screen text
Image Descriptions vocabulary bleed — 图像描述 appearing when English source showed movie AD tracks, not Magnifier camera narration
Competitor contrast — rivals with native zh-Hans Audio Descriptions and 口述影像 copy look more serious about China buyers who care about 无障碍 and described-video accessibility
Clearer zh-Hans Audio Descriptions marketing reduces confusion on the product page. It does not replace AD track implementation or described-video player engineering — and it is not a substitute for described-video positioning your app does not claim.
Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished Audio Descriptions strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what described-video scope you claim — while keeping accurate separation from Closed Captions, Image Descriptions, Live Caption, and read-aloud marketing. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.
What good zh-Hans Audio Descriptions listing copy looks like
Described-video copy appears on screenshot galleries and in description skims. Strong Chinese strings lead with the benefit and state scope plainly:
Overlay: "支持口述影像，听懂画面细节" — described-video frame with clear benefit line
Description paragraph: plain zh-Hans list of described-video workflows you ship — Audio Descriptions compatibility, AD track support, Works with Audio Descriptions — matching what you actually describe on the US page
Subtitle: "口述影像" or "音频描述友好" within the ~30-character cap
Keywords: include 口述影像 / 音频描述 / 描述性视频 only when accurate — do not keyword-stuff 隐藏式字幕 if you only market spoken AD narration
Honest scope — do not claim Magnifier Image Descriptions camera narration in Chinese if your app only ships movie/TV AD track support
zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying Audio Descriptions story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.
