Instagram’s auto-generated captions are the text transcriptions of any speech found in an Instagram video or Reel. They appear on the screen in coordination with the speech in the video, meaning that they synchronize with the visual content for context. As the name suggests, these captions are automatically generated by the app without you having to manually input them.

Using Instagram’s new captions sticker is quite similar to using any other Instagram Stories sticker. Here’s how to add captions to your Instagram story:
  • Head to the Instagram Stories or Reels camera and either record or upload a video from your camera roll.
  • Once uploaded or recorded, tap the sticker icon.
  • Select the “Captions” sticker.
  • At this stage, you can choose from four different text formats, move the text around the screen, and change the color.
And that’s it. Your captions should now be generated on your Instagram story. Be sure to watch and read the captions before posting as Instagram may not accurately transcribe your audio. Currently, users are unable to edit the captions after the fact.
