Is it possible using Workaudiobook, to use a plaintext line (or several) to correspond an audio segment? Assuming I have 50 lines of text and 50 audio segments with one audio file I want to be able to use each line as a subtitle.
I don't want to manually create these subtitles as I have thousands more.
Example to make my question more clearer:
Workaudiobook plaintext to subtitles

Re: Workaudiobook plaintext to subtitles
While I haven't used that particular tool, I looked at the docs just now and it seems like, with a little text manipulation and a forced alignment tool, you could get compatible subtitles (SRT) to feed into it. I have had great success with https://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/ as a forced aligner. It's a Python package that uses espeak to quite quickly and accurately align lines of text to audio. This may or may not be a usable solution for you, depending on your comfort working with python or the command line, but I thought I would at least mention that such tools exist, and that they can be quite efficient to use once you've gotten them set up.

Thanks. Thats too complicated for me, but I see theres some other programs that might do something similar, maybe.
