Why are some words getting cut off or garbled when Instagram generates captions for my videos?

This usually happens when you have autocorrect or grammar-checking software (like Grammarly) running on your device. These tools can interfere with caption generation by altering text as it’s being processed. Try removing or disabling any autocorrect apps from your phone. Another common cause is poor audio quality—if your video has lots of background noise, the speech-recognition software struggles to identify words accurately. Using an external microphone or recording in a quieter environment will improve caption accuracy. Instagram itself doesn’t cut words; the issue is device-level interference or audio clarity.
