Chapter Markers
Chapter Markers are digital bookmarks placed within audiobook files that help listeners navigate through different sections. Think of them like a table of contents for audio. When producers add these markers, listeners can easily jump between chapters or sections of the audiobook, just like flipping pages in a physical book. This is an essential feature for audiobooks on platforms like Audible, Apple Books, and other audio platforms. The process of adding chapter markers is part of the audio production workflow, making the final product more user-friendly and professional.
