Description
Describe the solution you'd like
YouTube allows people to paste or upload a plain text transcript for a video, and it will automatically assign timings for the text to generate timed captions, which can then be exported as .srt, .vtt, etc. This feature is called Auto-Sync. Descript offers a similar syncing feature.
Would Whisper allow to create a similar feature in Memo?

Research direction
Start by reviewing how Memo currently handles Whisper transcription and subtitle generation. Compare the requested Auto-Sync behavior with the linked YouTube and Descript references, then define how plain-text transcripts would become timed captions. Done means the feature can generate captions and export them in formats such as .srt and .vtt.
