(Photo : Screenshot From Pexels Official Website) Instagram Stories New Feature for Users to Watch Without Sound: Auto-Caption Stickers
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 New Automatic Caption Feature
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.
Instagram now adds auto-caption stickers for Stories

When you’re lying in bed late at night trying to get to sleep by watching Instagram Stories but you don’t want to disturb someone else in the room, you probably have it on mute. It’s okay if the Stories are visual but what if there was audio that would make it better if you could actually hear it? Well, Instagram is now adding stickers to its Stories and soon to Reels that would generate an auto-caption for better accessibility for those that have hearing difficulties, for not native English speakers, and for situations like this.

Instagram now has a captions sticker for Stories, which will automatically transcribe speech in videos. The sticker will be available only in “English and English-speaking countries” for now but will eventually roll out to other languages and countries. Instagram says it will also start testing automated captions in Reels soon.
Captions have been available in IGTV and the Threads app, and Instagram says it’s adding them to Stories and Reels to make them more efficient and inclusive to watch. The feature should be a welcome addition for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, are not native English speakers, or just generally watch videos without sound.
