Instagram Captions feature will transcribe audio within your Stories

Instagram has been spotted testing a new sticker for Stories that automatically generates captions. The new sticker, simply called ‘Captions’, can be added to any story with a video just like you would add a normal sticker on Instagram Stories. Once added, the sticker will transcribe the audio, and generate captions. Users can also easily switch fonts for captions while creating a story. Instagram’s Captions sticker is currently being tested with a small group of people. It’s still unclear when the new Captions sticker will roll out for everyone else.

To use the Captions sticker on Instagram Stories, you’ll first need to add the Captions sticker to your video clip. Once you do that, the app will display a ‘Transcribing audio’ prompt on the display for a few seconds. After that, you’ll be able to view the text from the video clip as it plays. You can choose from four different font options for these captions.

Instagram’s Captions sticker should add to the accessibility factor, making it easier for those who have hearing problems to properly consume video clips on Instagram Stories. Besides accessibility, the Captions sticker will also enable a range of new content formats for creators on Instagram.

Apart from posting music with lyrics, this will be another way to synchronise text with video and audio within Instagram Stories. The tool would help creators reach new audiences, enabling more users to enjoy Stories while their audio is turned off.
