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.

edwardun I had made a lot of experiments with these voices and the biggest problem there is that they cannot pronounce medical terms.
I have a platform for online rehabilitation and I need to make voices for my videos.

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).
