Live Text App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Copy Text from Photos & Scan Text zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app already sells text from images — Live Text, Copy text from photos, Scan text, Extract text from image, Point camera at text, or Look up selected text — and your en-US product page shows that story with gallery frames of text-selection highlights, photo OCR overlays, or camera viewfinder text capture.
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 Text", "Copy text", "Scan text", "Text from photo", or "Read text in image" in Latin script.
Shipping text recognition 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 extracts or copies text from photos and the viewfinder, without conflating Live Text marketing with camera capture, photo-library picking, or clipboard workflows.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship an app where users extract, select, or copy text from photos, screenshots, or the camera viewfinder — via Live Text-style selection, OCR overlays, or text-from-image marketing on screenshots
Market Live Text, Copy text from photos, Scan text, Extract text from image, Point camera at text, Text from photo, or Read text in image on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished text-recognition integration in the binary — not looking for Vision framework, VNRecognizeTextRequest, or DataScannerViewController engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Live Text-themed gallery frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for OCR APIs, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch
Live Text engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume text-recognition capability covers storefront language. Xcode, entitlements, and Connect actually separate OCR behavior from product-page copy:
Vision framework & VNRecognizeTextRequest — in-app code that detects and recognizes text in images or camera frames. Controls what text your app can read. Does not generate Chinese listing text.
DataScannerViewController & Live Text APIs — engineering work for live camera text scanning, text-selection overlays, and on-device OCR pipelines. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains text-extraction value to buyers.
Photo import vs text extraction — your binary may import photos from the library, scan text in the viewfinder, or both. Listing copy should match what screenshots actually show — not promise Live Text when the gallery only shows a generic photo picker.
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 OCR integration.
Working text-recognition 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 Text and text-from-photo workflows on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you implement Vision or Live Text APIs.
Live Text listing copy is not Camera capture, Photos picker, Clipboard, or Spotlight
Photo and utility apps blur several surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Live Text and text-from-image marketing on the product page:
Live Text & text from photos (this page) — Live Text, Copy text from photos, Scan text, Extract text from image, Point camera at text, Text from photo, Read text in image, Look up selected text, and description copy about selecting or copying text from images and the viewfinder.
In-app Camera capture (different) — Take Photo, Camera, Capture, QR scan, and document scan as capture workflows. See In-app Camera listing guide — camera capture is not Live Text OCR copy unless the frame shows text selection on the viewfinder.
Photos picker & limited library (different) — Choose Photos, Select Photos, limited photo library access, Add Photos from Library. See Photos picker listing guide — importing photos is not the same as Copy text from photos listing copy unless the gallery frame shows text extraction.
Clipboard (different) — Copy, Paste, Copy to clipboard, Paste from clipboard, and Universal Clipboard marketing. See Clipboard listing guide — copying text via Live Text on a photo is not Universal Clipboard listing copy.
Spotlight & iOS Search (different) — Search with Spotlight, Find it instantly, and Siri Suggestions from Spotlight. See Spotlight listing guide — not Live Text photo OCR copy.
Your screenshots may show multiple surfaces in one gallery. Listing copy should name the correct one per frame — a text-selection highlight on a receipt photo is not a Take Photo shutter button, not a Choose Photos sheet, not a Copy to clipboard toolbar action, and not a Spotlight search results screen.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Live Text copy is missing
Text-extraction apps often lead marketing screenshots with Live Text selection handles, Copy text callouts on photos, camera viewfinder text overlays, or Extract text confirmation sheets — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside system text-recognition chrome:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese text-extraction positioning
Untranslated Live Text captions — overlay lines like "Live Text", "Copy text", "Scan text", "Text from photo", or "Read text in image" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Text-extraction value in English — description opens with US marketing ("Copy any text from photos instantly") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 实况文本, 复制文字, 扫描文字, or 图片文字识别; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Conflating Live Text with Camera or Photos picker — machine translation that promises 拍照 or 从相册选择 when your app only extracts text from existing images — mismatched expectations at install
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps buyers understand text-from-photo workflows before install. It does not replace Vision integration, OCR accuracy testing, or Apple's review decisions.
Live Text-specific listing copy — what translates differently
Text-extraction listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers evaluate Live Text claims — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Copy text from photos vs Scan text in camera vs Extract text from image
Your listing should match the text-recognition workflow your app actually supports — select text on a saved photo, scan text in the live camera viewfinder, extract text from a screenshot or PDF image — without promising OCR accuracy your binary does not ship, or claiming Live Text when the gallery only shows photo import. AppLocale aligns storefront phrasing with your English claims and stated behavior; we do not invent text-recognition capabilities.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need text-extraction search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 实况文本, 复制文字, and 图片文字识别 each signal different intent from generic productivity keywords.
Screenshot captions on Live Text frames
Gallery frames that show text-selection highlights, Copy text buttons on photos, or camera viewfinder text capture need one-line zh-Hans captions — "从照片复制文字" or "对准文字即可扫描" not "Copy text from photos" burned into the product page story.
Common mistakes on Live Text-themed zh-Hans listings
Assuming OCR integration localizes automatically — Vision or Live Text shipped in the binary; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Live Text screenshot caption lines still English
Conflating Live Text with Camera capture — listing says 拍照 when the app only extracts text from imported photos, not live shutter capture
Conflating Live Text with Photos picker — Choose Photos belongs on the Photos picker listing guide, not text-selection frames
Conflating Live Text with Clipboard — Universal Clipboard belongs on the Clipboard listing guide, not photo OCR screenshots
English Copy text on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in selection labels on PNG exports are still Latin
Expecting AppLocale to implement Vision or DataScannerViewController — OCR pipelines and text-selection UI are engineering tasks outside listing rewrite scope
What's New still English after Live Text launch — see What's New in Simplified Chinese when text-from-photo support shipped in a recent version
Connect checklist before you order Live Text listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm your Live Text scope — photo OCR, camera scan, or both — note whether marketing shows text selection on photos, viewfinder text capture, or Extract text confirmation so copy matches screenshots
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export English Live Text marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Live Text", "Copy text from photos", "Scan text", "Extract text from image", "Point camera at text", "Text from photo")
List screenshot frames that show text-extraction UI — note which gallery images show text-selection handles, Copy text callouts, or camera viewfinder OCR overlays so caption lines match frame order
Separate listing from in-app OCR strings — listing rewrite does not cover Copy button labels or recognized text inside the binary
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing metadata rewritten from your English App Store copy, with Live Text-aware phrasing:
App name — up to 30 characters on the zh-Hans row
Subtitle — up to 30 characters; visible under the name in Search
Keywords — up to 100 characters in the hidden keyword field
Description — long listing body explaining Live Text and text-from-photo workflows for China buyers
Screenshot caption lines — overlay text for frames showcasing text selection on photos, Copy text callouts, or camera viewfinder text capture (send frame count and current English lines)
English alignment — voice consistent with your en-US page; we note both sides when English also needs tightening on Live Text claims

Does AppLocale implement Vision framework or Live Text APIs?
No. We deliver Connect listing metadata copy only — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot caption lines. Vision framework integration, VNRecognizeTextRequest configuration, DataScannerViewController UI, and OCR engineering are outside scope.
How is Live Text listing copy different from in-app Camera, Photos picker, or Clipboard?
Live Text listing copy covers Live Text, Copy text from photos, Scan text, Extract text from image, and Point camera at text marketing — not Take Photo or QR scan capture copy, not Choose Photos copy, not Universal Clipboard copy, and not Spotlight search copy. 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 Live Text or text extraction (with frame order noted), 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 text-selection UI?
No. Text selection handles, Live Text highlights, and OCR behavior come from your binary and iOS — not Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.
Will zh-Hans Live Text 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 text-extraction value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
