Instagram is trying to tempt loyal TikTok users to switch to a similar service, Reels, by releasing two new features that are already popular on TikTok.
The presence of two features is text-to-speech which provides robot voiceover for videos. So when users type in text for a video, they can get an auto-generated sound to read it aloud.
It's in the Text bubble in the lower-left corner of the screen. After that the user has to choose between the two available sound options before the video is posted.
On TikTok this feature is so popular, that some use robotic voices to tell their activities so that it becomes funny for their content.
Apart from Text-to-Speech, Instagram has also launched Sound Effects for Reels. This feature allows creators to customize their sound as they wish and choose from several available options.
Creators can change their voice to sound like they're inhaling helium or sound like a giant. They can also choose to sound like an announcer, robot, or vocalist. Instagram has launched both audio tools, so users can now try them out.
