Instagram has expanded its new AI-powered voice translation feature on Reels, adding support for Portuguese and Hindi. The feature, which has been available only in English and Spanish since August, aims to help content creators reach a global audience.
The technology, powered by Meta AI, analyzes the video's original audio and generates a dubbed version in the viewer's language. In the test conducted in Portuguese, it was noted that the AI still mixes elements of Brazilian Portuguese with more typical Portuguese sentence structures, which can lead to some inconsistencies in the naturalness of the speech.
In addition to automatic translation, the tool also includes lip-syncing. This feature smoothly adjusts the creator's mouth movements to match the new audio, making the result look more natural and closer to a professional dubbing.
