Instagram has introduced auto-generated captions for videos in an effort to make the app a more accessible and inclusive environment. The new feature is not only crucial for millions of deaf or hard-of-hearing users across the globe, but also makes the video viewing experience more enjoyable for those who prefer to watch videos on mute or in situations where headphones may not be accessible. . The new feature will also save a lot of time for creators: as the name suggests, captions will be automatically generated as a video gets uploaded, which is a break-away from the current practice of manually adding captions to videos. Users have the ability to turn them on or off.
