The oksana and alena voices are based on recordings of the same speaker. The oksana voice is no longer on the list of supported voices. Use the alena voice with the good role instead. The oksana voice is still available for legacy projects.

Tip

If the existing voices are not suitable for your project, SpeechKit can create a voice specifically for you. For more information about creating unique voices, see Yandex SpeechKit Brand Voice.
