Add support for subtitle files (e.g., VTT, SRT) in the Audiobookshelf app to display word-level or phrase-level highlights during audio playback. This feature would allow users to follow along with the audio using visual cues provided by subtitles, enhancing their overall listening experience.
Why would this be helpful?
Improved Comprehension: Users can better understand and retain information when they have both audio and visual inputs.
Accessibility: This feature would be beneficial for individuals with hearing impairments or those who are non-native speakers and need additional support to follow along.
Educational Value: Language learners can use subtitles to improve their listening and reading skills simultaneously.
User Engagement: Provides an interactive way to engage with audiobooks, similar to how the Snipd app offers highlights for podcasts.
