You could look into https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper especially the VAD section (Voice Activity Detector) using https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad. Source: 11 months ago
I also had the same synchronization issue, so I wrote a WebUI/CLI that uses Silero-VAD that first splits the audio whenever there a silent portion (or every 30 seconds), and I haven't experienced it since:. Source: about 1 year ago
By the way, I've updated the WebUI to now also support using Silero VAD to break up the audio into distinct sections, and run Whisper on each section and then combine them into one single transcript/SRT file. Source: over 1 year ago
And while googling this, I stumbled upon this discussion on the Whisper GitHub repository, which seems to suggest that the issue is that the current VAD (Voice Activity Detection) is quite poor, and that it can be resolved by using another VAD (like silero-vad). This might be something I want to add to my WebUI in the future. Source: over 1 year ago
Wait til you get to CS-330 I'm taking it rn, definitely the hardest class I've ever taken. Also, with that many readings, consider using naturalreaders.com That's what I use for the majority of the readings, I set the WPM at like 230 or so and just follow along, because I read incredibly slow, but can understand it and get through it way faster if I listen to it. This resource has saved me a ton of time so far! Source: about 2 years ago
Invest in software like naturalreaders.com that will read your assignments out loud. I'm sure there are better versions than this, but it's the one I use. It lets you set the speed and follow along, which is helps SO MUCH when you're dealing with dry boring material. You can even put your class notes in there and it will read them out loud to help you with memorization. Source: over 2 years ago
I wrote my entire explanation of WHY I am having them do the assignment. Please note that I also included a link to naturalreaders.com and told them that because this was so important that if they had trouble reading long text (and these instructions are not that long) to use the text-to-speech function.

Upload text and documents or convert to mp3 to listen to anywhere anytime. Bored of reading everything? Upload the text on this site and it will convert it in mp3 file. Really good one in my persoanl opinion Https://naturalreaders.com. Source: over 2 years ago
TL = target language, in your case, Spanish. I've been doing a lot of L-R--but as Ryan says, just with Spanish text/audio. I can recommend these sites: openlibrary.org (free to sign up for/use), librosdemario, holaebook, and lelibros.online. I then use the Google Read&Write extension to read the text to me if it's online or naturalreaders.com if it's a download. Good luck! Source: about 3 years ago
