Name Recognition & Called-Name Alerts App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 姓名识别 & 叫到名字时通知 zh-Hans Copy

Your en-US listing markets Name Recognition — screenshot overlays say "Notify when someone says my name", "Name Recognition support", "Called-name alerts", or "Hear your name with headphones on" — framed under Settings → Accessibility → Sound & Name Recognition → Name Recognition, where iOS and iPadOS listen for the user's name or nicknames spoken nearby and send a notification. Open the same app on the China App Store and buyers still see English title, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot captions. Shipping called-name alert workflows in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row. AppLocale rewrites paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields that describe your existing name-called notification story — not name-detection engineering, not Sound Recognition, not Spoken Content or Speak Screen, not Live Speech or Personal Voice, not Live Listen or Hearing Devices, not Voice Control or Vocal Shortcuts, not screenshot design. Listing copy only — we do not implement Name Recognition in your app, we do not guarantee rank, we do not claim emergency reliability, and we do not invent reviews or metrics.

Who this is for

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

If your lead feature is Sound Recognition — ambient alerts for alarms, doorbells, animals, and similar environmental sounds — that is a sibling setting under Sound & Name Recognition but a different buyer story. See Sound Recognition listing (zh-Hans). If users rely on Speak Screen to read on-screen text aloud — not name-called notifications — see Speak Screen listing (zh-Hans). If your lead feature is Live Listen microphone streaming to AirPods — not name detection — see Live Listen 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.

Name Recognition listing copy vs name-detection engineering — two different jobs

Teams assume called-name alert capability covers storefront language. iOS, Speech APIs, and Connect actually separate in-app name listening from product-page copy:

A Name Recognition-compatible app and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe called-name notification value on the store page, not whether name detection runs inside the app.

Name Recognition vs Sound Recognition, Speak Screen, Live Speech, Live Listen, and Voice Control — disambiguation

Apple groups several hearing and speech features under Accessibility. Indie teams conflate them on one product page. AppLocale covers Name Recognition and called-name alert marketing on listing metadata — not the other toggles:

Your gallery may show a Name Recognition toggle on one frame and a Sound Recognition sound-type picker on the next — but listing copy should name each claim accurately per frame. A called-name notification demo is not a baby-cry alert, not a Speak Screen read-aloud panel, not a Live Listen AirPods walkthrough, and not a Voice Control command sheet unless that is what the screenshot shows.

What Name Recognition actually does — listing honesty

Apple ships Name Recognition in iOS and iPadOS Settings → Accessibility → Sound & Name Recognition. When enabled, the device listens for the user's name or nicknames spoken nearby and sends a notification — helpful when wearing headphones or for hearing accessibility. Apple notes that Name Recognition listens for English names and is not intended for emergency reliance. Third-party apps may complement this with called-name alert workflows your binary actually ships. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:

Clear zh-Hans copy helps buyers who rely on called-name notifications understand your feature story before install. It does not replace Speech framework implementation, microphone permissions, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not promise the device will always hear every name in every environment.

Where English Name Recognition copy shows on the China product page

Hearing-accessibility apps often lead marketing screenshots with Name Recognition toggles, called-name notification previews, or headphones-on alert demos — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside notification UI:

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps called-name alert buyers understand your notification story before install. It does not replace name-detection code, microphone entitlements, or Apple's review decisions.

Common mistakes on Name Recognition zh-Hans listings

What AppLocale delivers for Name Recognition apps on zh-Hans

This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Name Recognition and called-name alert 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 Name Recognition or called-name alerts — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent called-name features your app does not ship.

Name Recognition-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently

Called-name marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe Name Recognition — not a literal paste of US marketing:

Name Recognition vs generic "name alerts"

US pages use "Notify when someone says my name", "Name Recognition support", or "Called-name alerts." China storefront copy often uses 姓名识别, 叫到名字时通知, or 有人叫名字时提醒 — depending on whether you mean Apple's Name Recognition setting specifically, custom in-app called-name workflows, or general notification UX. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual scope, not inventing Name Recognition support your app does not ship.

Name Recognition vs Sound Recognition — same pane, different feature

Both settings live under Sound & Name Recognition (声音与姓名识别). Name Recognition listens for the user's name — 姓名识别. Sound Recognition listens for environmental sounds like doorbells and smoke alarms — 声音识别. zh-Hans listing copy should not imply 声音识别 when your English source only markets called-name notifications. See the Sound Recognition listing guide only if ambient sound alerts are your lead marketing claim.

Name Recognition vs Speak Screen and Live Speech

Speak Screen reads on-screen text aloud — 朗读屏幕. Live Speech lets the user type and speak as their own voice — outbound communication, not inbound name listening. Name Recognition passively listens for names spoken nearby — 叫到名字时通知. Each surface has distinct buyer vocabulary and should not appear interchangeably in one keyword field unless your English listing genuinely markets all three.

Name Recognition vs Live Listen and Hearing Devices

Live Listen streams live microphone audio to AirPods for conversation amplification — 实时收听. Hearing Devices covers MFi hearing-aid pairing and audiology hardware — 助听设备. Name Recognition sends a notification when someone says your name — different buyer intent from streaming or hardware pairing. zh-Hans copy should not imply 实时收听 when your gallery only shows called-name notification demos.

English-name listening scope

Apple documents that Name Recognition listens for English names. zh-Hans listing copy can describe the called-name notification benefit honestly — 有人叫名字时提醒 — without over-specifying language coverage or claiming detection in every acoustic environment unless your English gallery shows that consistently.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need called-name search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 姓名识别, 叫到名字时通知, and 名字识别 each signal different intent from 声音识别 Sound Recognition keywords.

Caption lines vs burned-in badges

Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Notify when someone says my name" headlines on gallery frames showing Settings → Accessibility → Sound & Name Recognition → Name Recognition — 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.

Before / after — Name Recognition listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)

Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Sound Recognition, Speak Screen, or Live Listen copy:

Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Name Recognition surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Promotional text in Simplified Chinese when your called-name pitch lives in promo text rather than the long description.

Why English-only Name Recognition copy hurts China storefront conversion

Hearing-accessibility purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate called-name notification claims in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:

Clearer zh-Hans called-name marketing reduces confusion on the product page. It does not replace name-detection implementation, microphone permissions, or in-app accessibility settings.

Why machine-translated Name Recognition copy fails

Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished Name Recognition strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what called-name behavior you ship — while keeping accurate scope, honest English-name listening limits, and clear separation from Sound Recognition, Speak Screen, Live Speech, Live Listen, and Voice Control marketing. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.

What good zh-Hans Name Recognition listing copy looks like

Called-name 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:

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

Connect checklist before you order Name Recognition listing copy

  1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans localization row exists; adding China under Pricing and Availability alone does not fill it
  2. Audit five text fields — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text (if used) saved in zh-Hans, not placeholder English
  3. List screenshot frames that show called-name UI — note which gallery images show Name Recognition toggles, notification previews, or headphones-on alert demos so caption lines match frame order
  4. Export current English captions — overlay text from Connect or your design spreadsheet, including any "Notify when someone says my name", "Name Recognition support", or "Called-name alerts" boilerplate
  5. Confirm feature scope honestly — note which called-name workflows you ship so zh-Hans copy does not overclaim system-wide Name Recognition parity or emergency reliability
  6. Confirm in-app UI language separately — plan Xcode string localization if notification copy and settings labels are still English after install
  7. Skip engineering tasks here — Speech framework setup, name-detection models, and called-name alert QA stay with your dev team

AppLocale FAQ

What is Apple Name Recognition and why does listing copy matter?

Name Recognition is under Settings → Accessibility → Sound & Name Recognition → Name Recognition. When enabled, iOS listens for the user's name or nicknames spoken nearby and sends a notification — useful with headphones on or for hearing accessibility. Apple documents English-name listening and that it is not for emergency reliance. Marketing that feature on your en-US page does not auto-fill zh-Hans Connect fields.

Does shipping called-name alerts auto-translate my China listing?

No. Called-name alert workflows in the binary do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback on the product page.

What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Name Recognition apps?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines that mention Name Recognition, called-name alerts, or notify when someone says my name — rewritten from your English originals with terms like 姓名识别 and 叫到名字时通知 where accurate.

How is this different from Sound Recognition or Speak Screen?

Name Recognition listing copy markets notify-when-someone-says-my-name listener workflows — 姓名识别. Sound Recognition covers ambient sound alerts for alarms, doorbells, and animals — 声音识别. Speak Screen covers the device reading on-screen text aloud — 朗读屏幕. Each is a separate accessibility feature — do not reuse boilerplate across them.

How is this different from Live Speech, Live Listen, or Voice Control?

Live Speech and Personal Voice cover the user typing or speaking as their own synthesized voice. Live Listen streams microphone audio to AirPods for conversation amplification. Voice Control and Vocal Shortcuts cover speech commands. Name Recognition passively listens for names spoken nearby and sends notifications — different buyer intent and screenshot vocabulary.

Does AppLocale implement Name Recognition in my app?

No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Speech framework pipelines, name-detection models, and in-app notification UX are outside AppLocale scope. We rewrite how you describe existing called-name features on the store page — we do not implement them in the app.

Can zh-Hans copy claim emergency or medical reliability?

No. Apple notes Name Recognition is not for emergency reliance. AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source — we do not invent medical, safety, or always-hears-your-name promises.

What character limits apply to zh-Hans Name Recognition fields?

App name and subtitle are each up to 30 characters. Keywords allow up to 100 characters. Description and screenshot caption lines have longer limits but should stay concise — especially overlays that must fit on-device mockups.
