How to use voice-to-text on Instagram Reels

Voice-to-text options are becoming more common on social media apps like Instagram and TikTok as an easy way to provide on-screen captions for videos.

On-screen voice-to-text captions allow for a more inclusive audience, making videos more accessible for viewers that may have hearing issues. It's also helpful for folks that are in an environment where they can't play sound on their phone.

One social media company utilizing these captions is Instagram. When you create an Instagram Reel, which is basically Instas version of TikTok, you can add this feature to transcribe your audio into text. Follow these steps to add voice-to-text to your Instagram Reel.

1. To create a Reel, tap the icon at the very bottom-middle of your screen
