Live Speech & Type-to-Speak App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Speak Typed Text & Personal Voice zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS, iPadOS, or Mac app already sells type-to-speak — Live Speech, speak typed text aloud, Personal Voice with Live Speech, or 键入朗读 / 输入即朗读 workflows — and your en-US product page shows type-to-speak keyboards, speak-aloud buttons, Live Speech panels, or Personal Voice selectors 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 "Live Speech", "Type to speak", "Speak typed text", or "Personal Voice" in Latin script.
Shipping type-to-speak 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 lets users type and speak aloud, without conflating Live Speech marketing with Live Captions subtitles, Dictation voice typing, VoiceOver screen readers, or Speak Screen system reading.

Western indie iOS, iPadOS, and macOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship an app where users type text and have it spoken aloud — Live Speech-style panels, type-to-speak keyboards, saved phrase boards, or Personal Voice selectors on screenshots
Market Live Speech, type-to-speak, speak typed text aloud, Personal Voice, or 实时语音 / 键入朗读 on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished type-to-speak UX in the binary — not looking for AVSpeechSynthesizer, Personal Voice training, or text-to-speech pipeline engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on type-to-speak gallery frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for speech synthesis APIs, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch
Type-to-speak engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume Live Speech capability covers storefront language. Xcode, entitlements, and Connect actually separate text-to-speech in the app from product-page copy:
Text-to-speech pipelines & voice synthesis — in-app code that converts typed text to spoken audio via AVSpeechSynthesizer, Personal Voice, or custom TTS. Controls voice quality and latency. Does not generate Chinese listing text.
Personal Voice training & voice selection UI — engineering work for voice onboarding, phrase boards, and speak-aloud controls. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains type-to-speak value to buyers.
On-device vs cloud synthesis — your binary may synthesize speech locally, require network access, or both. Listing copy should match what screenshots actually show — not promise offline 实时朗读 when your gallery only shows cloud TTS.
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 type-to-speak in the app.
Working type-to-speak 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 Live Speech and speak-typed-text workflows on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you implement AVSpeechSynthesizer or Personal Voice models.
Live Speech listing copy is not Dictation, Live Caption, VoiceOver, or Speak Screen
Accessibility and speech apps blur several surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — type-to-speak and Live Speech marketing on the product page:
Live Speech & type-to-speak (this page) — Live Speech, type-to-speak, speak typed text aloud, Personal Voice with Live Speech, 实时语音, 实时朗读, 键入朗读, 输入即朗读, phrase boards, and description copy about typing and speaking aloud in conversations.
Dictation & voice typing (different) — Dictate text, Speech-to-text keyboard, Voice typing, keyboard voice input. See Dictation listing guide — turning speech into typed text is the opposite direction from Live Speech.
Live Caption & real-time subtitles (different) — live captions, real-time subtitles, 实时字幕 for media, calls, or spoken audio playback. See Live Caption listing guide — captions display spoken audio as text; Live Speech speaks typed text aloud.
VoiceOver & screen reader (different) — VoiceOver support, Works with VoiceOver, screen reader accessibility badges. See VoiceOver listing guide — not type-to-speak communication copy.
Speak Screen & Spoken Content (different) — system features that read on-screen content aloud to the user. Not the same as a user typing a custom phrase and speaking it in a conversation — do not reuse Speak Screen vocabulary for Live Speech screenshots.
Your screenshots may show multiple surfaces in one gallery. Listing copy should name the correct one per frame — a type-to-speak keyboard is not a Live Caption subtitle bar, not a dictation mic button, not a VoiceOver badge, and not a Speak Screen toggle unless that is what the frame shows.
Apple system Live Speech vs your app's type-to-speak — listing honesty
Apple ships a Live Speech Accessibility feature in iOS and iPadOS Settings that lets users type text and speak it aloud system-wide — optionally using Personal Voice trained on-device. Third-party apps may offer overlapping type-to-speak workflows, custom phrase boards, conversation-specific UI, or integrations your binary actually ships. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:
If your app complements iOS Live Speech — zh-Hans copy can describe custom phrase libraries, conversation UI, or integrations your binary actually ships without claiming to replace Settings → Accessibility → Live Speech unless your English listing already states that accurately.
If your app is a dedicated type-to-speak product — description and screenshot overlays should name the workflows you ship (键入即朗读, 个人声音, 常用语面板) in commerce-idiomatic Chinese, not generic "AI speaks everything" overclaims.
If your US page mentions Personal Voice — zh-Hans copy should distinguish Apple's on-device Personal Voice training from generic TTS voices your app uses, matching what screenshots and description actually show.
If your US page overclaims — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not invent broader type-to-speak scope than your screenshots and description support.
Clear zh-Hans copy helps buyers understand whether your app lets them type and speak aloud, and whether Personal Voice is supported, before install. It does not replace AVSpeechSynthesizer implementation, Personal Voice entitlements, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not certify speech quality in the app.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Live Speech copy is missing
Type-to-speak apps often lead marketing screenshots with Live Speech panels, speak-aloud buttons, phrase boards, or Personal Voice selectors — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside communication UI:
Description paragraphs — English value props about AAC communication, speech accessibility, or type-to-speak in conversations that China readers skim past
Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 实时语音, 实时朗读, 键入朗读, 输入即朗读, or 个人声音 when buyers filter for type-to-speak apps
Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching Live Speech in English above the description
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but type-to-speak screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 for Live Speech (实时语音 vs 实时朗读 vs 键入朗读) and wrong phrasing that does not match how Chinese buyers describe type-to-speak apps on store pages
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps communication-accessibility buyers understand your Live Speech story before install. It does not replace text-to-speech implementation, Personal Voice training, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not guarantee speech quality in the app.
What AppLocale delivers for Live Speech and type-to-speak apps on zh-Hans
This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Live Speech and type-to-speak 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 type-to-speak to China searchers
Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference Live Speech or speak-typed-text without stuffing raw English badge text
Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 实时语音, 实时朗读, 键入朗读, 输入即朗读, and type-to-speak apps in your category
Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on type-to-speak workflows you already ship — without English-only "Live Speech" 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 type-to-speak keyboards, speak-aloud buttons, Live Speech panels, or Personal Voice selectors
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on type-to-speak promises
We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Live Speech, type-to-speak, or Personal Voice — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent type-to-speak features your app does not ship.
Live Speech-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently
Type-to-speak marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe Live Speech workflows — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Live Speech vs generic text-to-speech
US pages use "Live Speech", "Type to speak", or "Speak typed text aloud." China storefront copy often uses 实时语音, 实时朗读, 键入朗读, or 输入即朗读 — depending on whether you mean Apple's Accessibility feature name, conversation type-to-speak, or general speak-aloud UX. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual type-to-speak scope, not inventing Personal Voice support your app does not ship.
Personal Voice vs system voices
Screenshot galleries may label Personal Voice (个人声音) separately from generic TTS voices. Buyers searching for communication-accessibility apps distinguish on-device voice cloning from standard speech synthesis — match what your English listing and screenshots actually show.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need type-to-speak search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 实时语音, 键入朗读, and 个人声音 each signal different intent from generic accessibility keywords.
Caption lines vs burned-in badges
Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Type to speak" 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
Live Speech feature launches and Personal Voice 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 type-to-speak pitch lives in promo text rather than the long description.
What good zh-Hans Live Speech listing copy looks like
Type-to-speak 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) — 键入文字，即时朗读出声 — type-to-speak benefit within the ~30-character cap
Keywords (example) — 实时语音,键入朗读,输入即朗读,个人声音 — only when accurate to your feature set
Screenshot overlay (example) — 输入文字，一键朗读 — type-to-speak frame with clear benefit line
Description paragraph (example) — plain zh-Hans list of type-to-speak workflows you ship — phrase boards, Personal Voice, saved messages, conversation speak-aloud — matching what you actually implemented
Honest scope — do not claim "full Live Speech replacement" in Chinese if your app only ships a limited phrase board
zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying type-to-speak story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.
Why machine-translated Live Speech copy fails
Literal "Live Speech" → awkward 现场演讲 (public speaking sense) instead of commerce-idiomatic 实时语音 or 键入朗读
Generic "Speak typed text" → 朗读输入的文字 (correct but stiff) instead of buyer-friendly 输入即朗读
English badge headlines preserved on zh-Hans screenshots — "Type to speak" with no Chinese benefit line beside it
Overlay text overflow — long English Live Speech captions pasted into short screenshot callout zones truncate on device
Conflating 实时语音 with 语音识别 — buyers searching for type-to-speak may not match speech-recognition keywords meant for dictation apps
Conflating 实时朗读 with 实时字幕 — Live Speech speaks typed text; Live Caption shows subtitles for heard audio — different buyer intent
Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished Live Speech strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what type-to-speak workflows 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 AVSpeechSynthesizer or Personal Voice training?
No. We deliver Connect listing metadata copy only — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot caption lines. AVSpeechSynthesizer integration, Personal Voice model training, and text-to-speech pipeline engineering are outside scope.
How is Live Speech listing copy different from Dictation or Live Caption?
Live Speech listing copy covers type-to-speak — users type text and hear it spoken aloud, including Personal Voice workflows. Dictation listing copy covers the opposite — speech-to-text and voice typing into fields. Live Caption listing copy covers real-time subtitles for heard audio and media. Those are separate scopes with different screenshot vocabulary.
Should my zh-Hans listing claim to replace iOS Live Speech in Settings?
Only if your app actually provides that capability and your English listing already states it accurately. AppLocale rewrites from your source claims — we do not invent system-replacement promises or certify parity with Apple's Accessibility Live Speech feature.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines that mention Live Speech or type-to-speak (with frame order noted), which type-to-speak workflows your app ships, 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 in-app speak-aloud behavior?
No. Type-to-speak UI, speech synthesis voices, Personal Voice integration, and speak-aloud behavior come from your binary and iOS — not Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.
Will zh-Hans Live Speech 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 type-to-speak value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
