This paper presents an automatic gender recognition technique based on speaker's voice. Utterances spoken by same-gender speakers were used to train a text-independent hidden Markov gender model. Female and male models are continuous hidden Markov models. Experiments on the TI-46 database containing 46 words spoken by 8 female and 8 male speakers showed an acceptable recognition rate.
