Instagram will now let users add captions to their stories with a new sticker.
The sound off feature will let users add captions to their Stories and soon to their Reels.
“Sound of…with sound off Now you can add a captions sticker in Stories (coming soon to Reels) that automatically turns what you say into text. We’re starting in a handful of countries and hope to expand soon,” Instagram said in a tweet.
The sticker will initially be available only in “English and English-speaking countries” and will be later rolled out to other languages and countries, The Verge reported.
It will also be expanded to the platform’s short video format Reels.

“ "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,” tweeted Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram.

They can also edit individual worlds in the captions to correct spelling and punctuation or change words that were transcribed inaccurately, The Verge reported.
