# Yandex Alice voice: who it is and what to use instead

Updated 2026-11-01

People often look for the voice of Alice, the Yandex assistant, to voice a video or a joke. Here is who stands behind it, why SuperClonica has no copy, and what you can use instead.

## Who voices Alice

Yandex announced Alice in 2017. Her voice is synthetic, but it has a living prototype: the actress Tatyana Shitova, who also dubs Scarlett Johansson’s heroines in Russian.

## Why we offer no copy

This voice comes from a real person and belongs to another company’s product, so SuperClonica does not offer a clone of it. A catalog voice named Alisa is a separate voice and has nothing to do with Yandex. To copy a real person’s voice you need that person’s consent.

## A similar mood

If you need a calm, even, friendly female voice, open the female voices in the catalog and test a typical line of 30 to 100 characters on a voice’s page, free and with no account. Listen for evenness and clear words; that is what makes an assistant sound like an assistant.

## Voice a whole text

For long text, install the free engine with python -m pip install superclonica-cpu and run: superclonica --text-file text.txt --voice F2 --lang en --output voice.wav. F2 is one of ten stock voices, and a voice file from the catalog works in its place. The first run downloads the model once, about 400 MB; after that it works offline on an ordinary processor.

## Lines that sound like an assistant

Keep sentences short and put one thought in each. Write out numbers and units the way they are spoken. Use a period where a pause belongs. To make the pace steadier, change --speed: a higher value is faster.
