Web Reader Integration with mp3 Audiobook

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's not really a problem, because existing free workflows do exist
You can Transcribe the Audiobook, with pyTranscriber.py, open it with mpvacious and have an e-book reader next to the windows, like this:

Describe the solution you'd like
But it would be really nice, to have this in one Web Browser Windows, and have more smooth process of sentence mining with books, that produce flashcards with audiobook audio

Also, as seen in the screenshot above, pyTranscriber doesn't perform ideal transcription. It would be great If the e-book was the main source of mined sentence, and the transcription itself would be only to set timings.

Additional context
What are the obstacles to implement this feature?
Do you need help with anything?
I'm not a programmer, just a tech-savvy language learner, but willing to help.

Don't transcribe, just use aeneas to align the text and the audio and use it in mpvacious.

Or use Whisper which may be good enough in many languages. I don't really think there is a lot to be gained here, and I don't really plan on implementing an audio player thing unless I'm also implementing a video player, which is unlikely.
