Instagram launches new captions sticker for Stories

 

For the past few months, Instagram has been testing a new feature and today it has officially rolled it out. The company has introduced captions sticker for its Stories mode. As such, you have more ways to create contents.

How does this tool work? When you add it to one of the videos that you have captured, it will auto-generate text captions according to the audio input. As expected, these auto-captions will not be 100% accurate all of the time. However, you will still be able to edit the text. There is the option to change its colour, position and font to best suit your presentation. Users could first notice this ‘Captions’ sticker a few months ago, but when they applied it, there was an error message.

Late last year, Instagram introduced a similar option to its separate Threads app. Following this, the system was downloaded by a lot of users since people were using this new option to create TikTok videos. This feature was rolled out for IGTV uploads as well and the social media company has announced that it will be available for Reels as well. The firm’s chief Adam Mosseri advanced, “‘Sound off’ is a request we get a lot so I'm excited that it’s coming to Reels too. We also hope to expand beyond a handful of countries soon”.
