Is there any firefox extension to process SRT or WebVTT files to show subtitles in any page? Not just video streaming sites.

Context: I have some subtitle files for some podcasts, so the site is only playing audio. I'm using podverse.fm
It'll be great to have something similar to lyrics sections in some music players to follow along the audio while reading.

It's not a browser-based solution, but, the mpv media player can display subtitles while playing an audio file.

If you run mpv --subfile=something.srt something.mp3 it will show the subtitles in the terminal, and to get them in a window instead you can add the --force-window commandline option.

You can probably download the audio (and maybe subtitles?) from whatever website using yt-dlp, or maybe even stream from the site using mpv directly by just giving it the URL.
