Describe the Feature/Enhancement

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?

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Please refer to Snipd app.
Synchronized Display: During playback, subtitles appear in sync with the audio, highlighting words or phrases as they are spoken.
