.srt and .vtt are common formats for video-subtitles, and any decent subtitleeditor software should be able to do what you want (not the epub conversion, though, but mayby that's not even necessery), even if you're working with sound only instead of full-fledged movies (I have used this one https://www.nikse.dk/ in the past, mostly for subtitling some movies for my son – many, many years ago and in a galaxy far away (or so it seems sometimes), but I think that's Windows only.

AFAIR, it was somewhat timeconsuming making the sound and text timecoding fit together correctly, but then this wasn't an everyday task for me.

Anyway, just a suggestion

Kim
