It’s simple and takes less than a minute:

Step-by-step Guide:

Open Instagram and go to the Story section.
Record a video or select one from your phone.
Tap the sticker icon at the top.
Choose ‘Captions’ from the sticker options.
The app will auto-generate text based on your speech.
Adjust the font, size, and placement if needed.

✅ Tip: Speak clearly and keep background noise low for better accuracy.

Benefits for Indian Instagram Users

No Sound? No Problem! – Many people in India watch videos in silent mode while travelling or working. Now they won’t miss the message.
More Engagement – Stories with text often get better views, shares, and replies.
Helps Everyone Understand – If your followers speak different languages, English captions make it easier to follow.
More Inclusive – People with hearing problems can now enjoy and understand your content too.

This is a smart move by Instagram and has been welcomed by creators and users alike. It’s already being covered in leading social media updates on platforms like AP News.

Can You Edit the Captions?

Yes! Instagram gives you the option to review and edit the text before you post the Story. Here’s how:

Tap on the auto-generated caption
Make changes if there are any errors
Adjust style or font if you like
Done!

Once you post the Story, however, you can’t change the captions. So always double-check before hitting “Share.”

What’s Next?

Instagram plans to roll out this feature in other languages soon. So in the future, we might see Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and other Indian languages supported. This will make Stories even more fun and useful for users across the country.

Instagram’s ‘Add Captions’ feature is small but powerful. It makes Stories more user-friendly, boosts your reach, and ensures your message is heard — even without sound. If you love creating content or want to stay ahead in the world of social media, this is a feature you must try.
