Abstract: Some characteristics of human speech are unique to each person and may be used for a speaker identification. We are presenting a method for a speaker sex estimation based upon fundamental speech frequency. A minimum quality of the input speech signal was carefully checked. Presented method uses a short time discrete Fourier transform /DFT/ technique.
