Data Transfer Guide

Speechify doesn't offer direct export of audio files or listening history. To transfer content: First, locate original source documents in Speechify's library and download them as text files or PDFs. For web articles, use browser bookmarks or copy URLs. For scanned documents processed through Speechify's OCR, download the extracted text files. Organize these files by category before importing into Colossyan. In Colossyan, create new projects and paste your text into the script editor. You'll need to reformat content for video presentation, adding scene breaks and visual cues. Voice preferences from Speechify won't transfer directly—you'll select new AI presenters in Colossyan matching your desired tone and language requirements.
