Dictation & Voice Typing App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Dictate Text & Speech-to-Text Keyboard zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or Mac app already sells voice typing into text fields — Dictation, Dictate text, Speech-to-text keyboard, Voice typing, or keyboard voice input — and your en-US product page shows mic buttons, dictation keyboards, or speech-to-text into notes on gallery frames.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page: name, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot captions that read "Dictate", "Speech-to-text", "Voice typing", or "Dictation keyboard" in Latin script.
Shipping dictation in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your app actually turns speech into typed text, without conflating dictation marketing with VoiceOver accessibility, Live Voicemail transcription, translation UI, or Live Text OCR.

Western indie iOS and Mac developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship an app where users dictate text into fields — notes, messages, forms, documents, or custom keyboard layouts with a mic button on screenshots
Market Dictation, Dictate text, Speech-to-text keyboard, Voice typing, or keyboard voice input on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished dictation UX in the binary — not looking for Speech framework, SFSpeechRecognizer, AVAudioEngine, or keyboard-extension engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on dictation-themed gallery frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for speech recognition APIs, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch
Dictation engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume dictation capability covers storefront language. Xcode, entitlements, and Connect actually separate speech-to-text in the app from product-page copy:
Speech recognition & audio pipelines — in-app code that captures microphone input and returns typed text. Controls recognition accuracy and latency. Does not generate Chinese listing text.
Keyboard extensions & custom dictation UI — engineering work for mic buttons, dictation keyboards, and text-field insertion layouts. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains voice typing value to buyers.
On-device vs cloud dictation — your binary may transcribe locally, require network access, or both. Listing copy should match what screenshots actually show — not promise offline 听写 when your gallery only shows online API calls.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of dictation integration.
Working dictation flows in the binary and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Dictate text and speech-to-text keyboard workflows on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you implement Speech framework or keyboard extensions.
Dictation listing copy is not VoiceOver, Live Voicemail, Translate, or Live Text
Productivity and utility apps blur several surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — voice typing and keyboard dictation marketing on the product page:
Dictation & voice typing (this page) — Dictation, Dictate text, Speech-to-text keyboard, Voice typing, keyboard voice input, mic-button screenshots, and description copy about turning speech into typed text in any field.
VoiceOver & screen reader (different) — VoiceOver support, Works with VoiceOver, screen reader accessibility badges. See VoiceOver listing guide — not dictation-into-text-field copy.
Live Voicemail (different) — visual voicemail, voicemail transcription, see who's leaving a message. See Live Voicemail listing guide — not keyboard dictation marketing.
Translate & bilingual conversion (different) — Translate text, Live translation, On-device translation. See Translate listing guide — converting between languages is not the same as dictating text in one language.
Live Text & OCR (different) — Live Text, Copy text from photos, Scan text. See Live Text listing guide — extracting text from images is not voice typing into a keyboard.
Your screenshots may show multiple surfaces in one gallery. Listing copy should name the correct one per frame — a dictation mic on a keyboard is not a VoiceOver badge, not a voicemail transcription line, not a bilingual translation panel, and not a Live Text selection handle unless that is what the frame shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans dictation copy is missing
Dictation apps often lead marketing screenshots with mic buttons, speech-to-text keyboards, voice typing into notes, or Dictate text badges — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside system keyboard chrome:
Screenshot overlay badges — "Dictate text", "Speech-to-text keyboard", "Voice typing", "Type with your voice" on gallery frames
Description paragraphs — English value props about hands-free typing, faster note capture, or dictation in any app that China readers skim past
Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 听写, 语音输入, 听写键盘, or 语音转文字 when buyers filter for voice typing apps
Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching dictation in English above the description
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but dictation screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 for dictation (听写 vs 语音识别 vs 语音输入) and wrong phrasing that does not match how Chinese buyers describe keyboard voice typing on store pages
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps productivity-focused buyers understand your voice typing story before install. It does not replace Speech framework implementation, microphone permissions, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not guarantee dictation accuracy in the app.
What AppLocale delivers for dictation and voice typing apps on zh-Hans
This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to dictation and voice typing 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 voice typing to China searchers
Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference dictation or speech-to-text keyboard without stuffing raw English badge text
Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 听写, 语音输入, 听写键盘, and voice typing in your category
Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on dictation features you already ship — without English-only "Dictate" 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 dictation mic buttons or speech-to-text keyboards
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on dictation promises
We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Dictation or voice typing — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent dictation features your app does not ship.
Dictation-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently
Voice typing marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe keyboard dictation — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Dictation vs generic speech recognition
US pages use "Dictate text", "Speech-to-text keyboard", or "Voice typing." China storefront copy often uses 听写, 语音输入, 听写键盘, or 语音转文字 — depending on whether you mean system-style dictation, a custom keyboard, or general voice-to-text. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual dictation scope, not inventing offline 听写 your app does not ship.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need voice-typing search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 听写, 语音输入, and 听写键盘 each signal different intent from generic productivity keywords.
Caption lines vs burned-in badges
Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Dictate text" headlines on gallery frames — 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.
Promotional text refreshes
Dictation launches and voice typing milestone updates often land in the 170-character promotional text field above the description — updatable without a new binary. See Promotional text in Simplified Chinese when your dictation pitch lives in promo text rather than the long description.
What good zh-Hans dictation listing copy looks like
Voice typing copy appears on screenshot galleries and in description skims. Strong Chinese strings lead with the benefit and state scope plainly — paste-ready examples for Connect fields:
Subtitle (example) — 听写键盘，语音快速成文 — voice typing benefit within the ~30-character cap
Keywords (example) — 听写,语音输入,听写键盘,语音转文字 — only when accurate to your feature set
Screenshot overlay (example) — 语音输入，开口即成文字 — mic-button frame with clear benefit line
Description paragraph (example) — plain zh-Hans list of where dictation works — notes, messages, custom keyboard, offline mode — matching what you actually implemented
Honest scope — do not claim "works in every app" in Chinese if dictation only runs inside your own text editor
zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying dictation story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.
Why machine-translated dictation copy fails
Literal "Dictate text" → awkward 口述文本 instead of commerce-idiomatic 听写输入
Generic "Speech-to-text" → 语音转文本 (technical) instead of 语音输入 (keyboard UX sense buyers expect)
English badge headlines preserved on zh-Hans screenshots — "Voice typing" with no Chinese benefit line beside it
Overlay text overflow — long English dictation captions pasted into short screenshot callout zones truncate on device
Conflating 听写 with 语音识别 — buyers searching for keyboard dictation may not match generic speech-recognition keywords
Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished dictation strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what voice typing you ship — while keeping accurate scope. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.

AppLocale FAQ
Does AppLocale implement Speech framework or keyboard extensions?
No. We deliver Connect listing metadata copy only — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot caption lines. Speech framework integration, SFSpeechRecognizer configuration, AVAudioEngine pipelines, and custom keyboard extension engineering are outside scope.
How is dictation listing copy different from VoiceOver or Live Voicemail?
Dictation listing copy covers Dictate text, Speech-to-text keyboard, Voice typing, and keyboard voice input marketing — turning speech into typed text in fields. VoiceOver listing copy covers screen reader accessibility. Live Voicemail listing copy covers visual voicemail and voicemail transcription. Those are separate scopes with different screenshot vocabulary.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines that mention dictation (with frame order noted), where dictation works in your app, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Does localizing my listing change the in-app dictation UI?
No. Dictation mic buttons, keyboard layouts, and speech recognition behavior come from your binary and iOS — not Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.
Will zh-Hans dictation copy improve China rankings?
We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps users who already find your page understand voice typing value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
