Narration in Instagram reel videos is a resource that allows you to overlay the original audio with instant text conversion tools, simulating Google's voice or other robotic voices. It is also possible to place the narration in your own voice on Instagram Reels, in case you want to dream in a more natural way.
The short text conversion feature, known as Text-to-Speech, needs to be the CapCut app. The narration with your own voice can be done in the Instagram app itself, using the voice overlay resource.

Why does the Instagram Reels not appear in the text option?
Instagram's text feature – or Text-to-Speech – is available only in selected regions. Unfortunately, Brazil is not part of this list. Além disso, a tool naturally converts only texts into English.
Is it possible to add a legend to a narrative on Instagram?
Sim. There are different ways to place legend on Instagram reels. You can use the CapCut tools or the social network app itself to add legend to the content.
Can you place narration and music at the same time on Instagram reels?
Sim. You can insert your own narration and place music on Instagram reels. The social network editing tool allows you to use different audio files without the same content.
Can I edit a narration in a video soon on Instagram?
It is not possible to use Instagram or CapCut to edit a video as soon as it has narration. In these cases, the narration is part of the original audio of the material and cannot be modified. You can edit short videos without narration and use voice or falsified text overlay resources.
