We've made it easy to bring your Whisper template into Spectora! Imports are never apples-to-apples, but we hope the import process gives you a great head-start in making the switch!


First, you'll have to export your comments from Whisper. There are a few steps to this, so we've made this video to guide you through the process.

Not a video person? No worries, we have the full steps written out for you below! πŸ‘‡
