Hello! My name is Marin Benkin and I am an owner of a little company in Bulgaria and I am interested to create neural voices in my language and to improve speech recognition.
What time was to do to have a permission to create Neural voice in Bulgarian?

- Hi Marin, we support Bulgarian neural voices today, one male and female (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#neural-voices). Custom Neural Voice currently does not support Bulgarian at this point but it is in our roadmap. In the meantime, please try out our Neural Voices and let us know your feedback.
Benkin , have you try <phoneme> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/speech-synthesis-markup?tabs=csharp#use-phonemes-to-improve-pronunciation to improve the pronunciations? Also, you can put that in a custom lexicon (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/speech-synthesis-markup?tabs=csharp#use-custom-lexicon-to-improve-pronunciation).
- Yes, I tried, but there is no option to choose Bulgarian
Sorry!
The question is: What I must do to have a permission to create Neural voice in Bulgarian?

Benkin do you want to try to create your own custom Neural voice in Bulgarian? We already have 2 Bulgarian Neural voices available as mentioned here: Language support - Speech service - Azure Cognitive Services | Microsoft Docs
