Data Transfer Guide
Speechify doesn't offer direct data export to Synthesia since they serve different formats (audio vs. video). To transfer content: 1) Export source text materials from Speechify by downloading original documents or copying text from the app. 2) For saved audio files, you'll need to reference the original text sources since Synthesia requires text input. 3) Organize exported text by project and priority. 4) Import text into Synthesia's text-to-video interface, creating new videos rather than transferring audio files. 5) Re-establish preferences by selecting appropriate AI avatars and languages in Synthesia's system. The migration focuses on content recreation rather than direct data transfer.
