Import audio & auto-transcribe

the process of importing each podcast into LingQ is so time consuming that I don’t really use the function. I’m not sure if there might be an easier way to batch import mp3/mp4/audiofiles into LingQ to listen, or a way to import directly from linked audio online, but if there was something like this I would spend more time listening in LingQ. Going out on a line, but if LingQ teamed up with a service like Happy Scribe, or was able to generate text from an audiofile, even if it wasn’t 100% completely accurate, it would be amazing. For a while I was using Happy Scribe to generate scripts for audio files, but I was spending far too much money on that. But being able to take literally any podcast audiofile within LingQ and generate a lesson to read along with it would be amazing. I would pay more for the service if that was possible. It would also make it easier for librarians to expand the content library as it would be built into the application vs having to pay for a service or spend more time transcribing. It would save time and money to be able to generate the transcription in LingQ and make minor corrections to the transcription.

This feature was implemented in early 2024 using Whisper AI.

I think OpenAI's Whisper would be easy to implement, I've seen examples where it even generates timestamps so it's possible to have audio for every sentence.
