How to Migrate from Lovo.ai to Synthesia (Step-by-Step)

Last updated: April 2026

Migrating from Lovo.ai to Synthesia is ideal for users shifting focus from voice-only content to full AI video production. While Lovo.ai excels at text-to-speech and voiceovers, Synthesia adds visual AI avatars, making it perfect for training videos, corporate communications, and marketing content that requires a human presenter. This guide covers the complete migration process, including data export, feature adaptation, and timeline planning. You'll learn how to transfer your existing projects, map equivalent features, and leverage Synthesia's video-first approach for more engaging content creation.

Estimated Timeline

solo user

3-5 days (including learning curve and content recreation)

small team

1-2 weeks (with coordination and review cycles)

Feature Mapping

Lovo.ai	Synthesia Equivalent	Notes
500+ AI Voices in 100+ Languages	160+ AI Avatars in 130+ Languages	Synthesia offers fewer 'voices' but adds visual avatars; language support is actually broader in Synthesia
Voice Cloning	Custom Avatars (Enterprise Plan)	Both require separate fees; Synthesia's custom avatars are video-based rather than audio-only
Emotional Speech Control	Avatar Gestures & Expressions	Synthesia offers limited emotional range through preset gestures rather than nuanced vocal emotion control
Online Voice Studio	AI Video Editor	Synthesia's editor is video-focused with scene management versus Lovo's audio-focused interface
Audio File Export (MP3/WAV)	Video Export (MP4)	Synthesia exports video files only; extract audio separately if needed
SSML Support	Pronunciation Editor	Synthesia uses phonetic spelling instead of SSML tags for speech customization
Free Plan for Testing	Demo Videos & Free Trial	Synthesia requires paid plans but offers demo creation without full export capabilities
Integrated Video Editing	Complete Video Creation Platform	Synthesia's video tools are more comprehensive, built specifically for video production rather than adding audio to existing video

Data Transfer Guide

Lovo.ai doesn't offer automated migration tools to Synthesia, so manual transfer is required. First, export all scripts from Lovo.ai's project dashboard as text files. For audio files, download MP3/WAV versions but note they won't import directly into Synthesia. Organize exports by project type with a spreadsheet tracking original voice settings. In Synthesia, create new video projects for each script. Paste text into the editor and select equivalent AI avatars—match language, gender, and age characteristics. Add visual elements since Synthesia creates videos, not just audio. Save original Lovo.ai files for 90 days as backup during transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Lovo.ai to Synthesia?+

No automated transfer exists. You must manually export scripts from Lovo.ai and recreate them in Synthesia's video editor. Audio files won't import directly but serve as reference for recreating content with AI avatars.

How long does migration take?+

For a typical user with 20-30 projects, expect 1-2 weeks including learning Synthesia's platform. The timeline depends on project complexity and how much content requires visual adaptation beyond simple voice replacement.

Will I lose any features switching to Synthesia?+

You'll gain video creation but lose some audio-specific features. Synthesia doesn't match Lovo.ai's emotional speech control or standalone audio export. However, you gain AI avatars, visual editing, and potentially broader language support.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, run both platforms in parallel for 2-4 weeks. Create new content in Synthesia while maintaining Lovo.ai for reference and existing projects. This overlap period helps identify gaps before fully committing to Synthesia.

Is Synthesia cheaper than Lovo.ai?+

Not necessarily. Synthesia starts at $30/month for limited features versus Lovo.ai's freemium model. However, Synthesia provides complete video creation, potentially replacing multiple tools. Compare based on your video production needs versus voice-only requirements.
