Originally created by @CoryGH on GitHub (Nov 3, 2024).

Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

It would be nice to have an eBook style reader/highlighter which does speech-to-text translation to build out an eBook from an audiobook as a background process and has time synchronization to text to highlight what is being said while displaying it.

Why would this be helpful?

As an accessibility feature.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Sort of like:
tpvuoxaifcbc1
but with highlighting over actively-read text, in the body of the playback area.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.16.2

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

The playback bottom bar when listening to an audiobook.
