Instagram has just recently rolled out a new update on its Stories feature that would allow users to add automatic captions to their own videos. The new captions sticker would automatically take what people would say within a video and simply turn it into text. This is so that users will be able to watch even without any sound available.

Instagram now states that it will soon start testing out the captions sticker in its Reels which is a TikTok competitor. According to the story by CNet, the company notes that users might not always be in places where they can simply listen to the sound of their video in order to see and understand what their friends or other creators are posting.

We know that month-long celebrations can fizzle and wane as the month goes by. So, we want to take the opportunity to add a fresh voice to celebrating the individuals who make a difference in the lives of Black Americans with disabilities.
Many people in the history of Black Americans have also been people with disabilities. Just a few to note:
Harriet Tubman (1820-1913), a remarkable conductor (those who helped others gain their freedom from slavery), had epilepsy resulting from a head injury as a young slave.
Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) was arrested in June 1963, after successfully registering to vote. At the jailhouse, she was brutally beaten, leaving lifelong injuries from a blood clot in her eye, as well as kidney and leg damage.
Bernardo Villalobos (Mr. V), played by Eugenio Derbez, composing the spring concert.
This year s festival line-up includes several titles that feature disability in the plot, including day one screening CODA.
RespectAbility the nonprofit organization that seeks to combat stigmas for people with disabilities has set a Sundance Film Festival conversation program with its Accessibility and Inclusion Lab.
The five conversations series, running Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, will focus on the intersection of filmmaking and disability-related subjects and will include Troy Kotsur, Cheryl Bedford, Ashley Eakin and CJ Jones as panelists, among others. Each of the events will include live captions, as well as ASL interpreters.
