Instagram Reels is yet again mimicking TikTok by bringing the latter Voice Effects and Text to speech feature to its platform. The Text to Reels feature offers creators use of an artificial voice to read any text they add instead of using their voice in the video and with the Voice Effects, the voice-over of the creator can be modified. These features are already available in TikTok.
The new update released by the social networking platform owned by Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has been announced via its community page. The features can be accessed via the text tool in the reels Camera. A creator can get more creative with video by auto-generating voice to read the text he/she adds to the reel. Or add an artificial voice to the video for narration instead of their own with the Voice Effects feature.
