I’ve never created an ebook before but have been using MacWhisper AI to create transcripts of hour long audio files.

I came across a demo HTML page blow that loads in audio and a transcription where you can click anywhere in the transcription and the audio jumps to that.
https://umd-mith.github.io/webvtt-player/index.html

I’m not hosting websites and doing HTML on device doesn’t work easily on mobile. I’ve also looked into existing programs and Shortcuts app but the best solution I’ve come up with is an interactive eBook.

I have my audio files and I have the transcript in VTT and SRT file format.

Ideally I’d like to load the audio and sync the audio to the transcript. The transcript would either be raw or hide time stamps and could be read like a book but if I tap or click on a word I’d like the audio to start playing (or jump) to that point.

If anyone has a good video or instructions or a template for this I’d appreciate it as most of my searches are pulling up older posts of people attempting this when it wasn’t possible in Sigil or took workarounds.

I know basic HTML, and I can fumble through some CSS but I don’t know any JavaScript.

The demo page linked above I did recreate locally on my computer if that helps.
