Virtually any photo editing or word processing program will do the job. I would use Photoshop or Microsoft Publisher. Go to YouTube for lessons. That’s more practical than step by step on this forum

Do you mean visibly on the photo, or in the metadata?

I use a FREE program called Ribbet Photo editer . However I create a White box at the bottom of each photo than I type in Black text. I feel that putting text ON a photo detracts from the photo.

on the photo. I always put names on my prints. Since going digital, in years to come, I won't remember who is who.

Welcome to UHH Karen. If you are using Photoshop, you can add text to a photo. Here are a couple of tutorials on how to do it.

Hope that is what you were looking for and helps.

For sending to publications, I use Photoshop to extend canvas size at bottom of print, to white, create a text box, and type in the caption / names etc.

As you consider the costs of various software ideas, now in this digital age, consider whether keywords (person(s), place, etc) in an image catalog is a better approach to "writing" captions onto the image.
