Have text & audio match / auto sync

I would like to have the transcripts keep up with the audio when I am listening to a podcast. For example sometimes I am listening to a podcast and I want to highlight a word that I hear but I have to go and search in the transcript for it because it is not keeping up with the audio. otherwise this is a phenomenal program and certainly the best language learning system that I have ever tried.

I crawled through these Feature Requests and noticed this which I consider to be the same I have (even if, you spoke about transcript I'd add the translation too).
When listening podcasts from Karaoke Mode (or Synchronized Text mode) you can't hop to the right sentence in the Sentence View or even to right page in Text View.

Here's also a longer explanation: https://forum.lingq.com/t/drilling-into-sentence-view-from-synchronized-text-karaoke-mode/857237
I also noticed few other Feature Requests which are considering the same problem (in my opinion). For this I'll put them here that hopefully they'll be taken into consideration if those at LingQ will some day be pondering the next feature to be implemented:

"Sometimes shared lessons have issues with the sentences not matching what the audio is saying. It would be nice if LingQ had more moderators checking for these mistakes on public/shared lessons."

"I hate when the text doesn't line up with the audio."

"I would love if it would be super easy to automatically sync transcripts with audio. It takes a lot of time to do currently so I don’t bother doing it at the moment."
