Instagram, Facebook Reels creators get AI-powered Indian languages dubbing feature

Since the launch of Reels on Instagram and Facebook, it has become a productive platform for small-time creators to earn their livelihood and global acclaim.

Last year in August, to further expand the reach worldwide, Meta introduced a new generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) tool for creators to dub and lip-sync their reels to and from English, Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Now, the company has expanded the dubbing and lip-syncing feature to five Indian languages, such as Kannada, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and Marathi.

Here's how to get started:

Just before publishing the reel, turn the toggle 'Translate voices with Meta AI' setting on. Tap the Translation settings link to add lip syncing and select which languages you want your reels to be translated into. You can also opt to preview and approve the translations before they're shared.

Further, Meta also announced new Indian language fonts for the Edits app. With this, users now be able to style their text and captions with Devanagari and Bengali-Assamese scripts, in languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Bengali and Assamese.

New Indian Fonts Available on Edits app.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Within the editing timeline, head to “Text” on the bottom tools tray.

Step 2: From there, click on the “Aa” icon, where you’ll see the list of fonts available.

Once this feature (Devanagari or Bengali-Assamese scripts) has been used, these fonts will be defaulted in the font tab.
