OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this investigation was to quantify gender perception in telephone communication as a situation of everyday life.
Matched control study.
Speech samples were recorded of 18 male to female (MtF) after Wendler's glottoplasty, 18 male, and 18 female persons. After adaption of the frequency to the limited frequency transmission on the telephone (300-3,400 Hz), the speech samples were judged by 50 male and 50 female listeners. Parameters were the decision "male" or "female" and the decision time. The formant frequencies F1 to F3 for the vowel /a/ were extracted and compared between the speaker groups.
There were 7/18 MtF perceived as female by the majority of listeners. A correlation between fundamental frequency and perceptions as female could be shown. The decision time needed was longer for MtF than for male or female speakers. Female listeners decided significantly faster than male listeners. Female listeners perceived the MtF more often as male speaker. For the MtF, the perception as female correlated with their individual voice satisfaction. Comparing the formant frequencies of male and MtF speakers, F2 was higher for MtF. Regarding female and MtF speakers, F1 and F2 were significantly lower for MtF speakers.
Using the telephone test, MtF individuals misperceived as male can be identified even if they reached a vocal pitch in the female frequency range. The strong correlation of the perceptions as female in the telephone test and the personal satisfaction shows the power of this instrument for evaluation of therapy success. It should be utilized to compare different techniques of gender voice surgery.

目的/假设：本研究旨在量化日常生活场景中电话沟通里的性别认知情况。
配对对照研究。
记录了18名接受温德勒声门成形术后的男性变女性（MtF）者、18名男性和18名女性的语音样本。在将频率调整至电话有限频率传输范围（300 - 3400赫兹）后，由50名男性和50名女性听众对语音样本进行判断。参数包括判断“男性”或“女性”的结果以及判断时间。提取了元音/a/的共振峰频率F1至F3，并在不同说话者组之间进行比较。
大多数听众将18名MtF中的7名感知为女性。可以显示基频与被感知为女性之间存在相关性。MtF所需的判断时间比男性或女性说话者更长。女性听众的判断速度明显快于男性听众。女性听众更常将MtF感知为男性说话者。对于MtF而言，被感知为女性与他们个人的声音满意度相关。比较男性和MtF说话者的共振峰频率，MtF的F2更高。对于女性和MtF说话者，MtF说话者的F1和F2明显更低。
通过电话测试，即使MtF个体的音调达到女性频率范围，也能识别出被误判为男性的情况。电话测试中被感知为女性与个人满意度之间的强相关性表明了该工具在评估治疗效果方面的作用。应利用它来比较不同的性别嗓音手术技术。
