Your articulation might help listeners conclude your approximate height without seeing you, according to a new study. Researchers had men and women hear to recordings of identical sentences read by men and women of different heights. The listeners were asked to column the speakers from tallest to shortest.

The results showed that the listeners were about 62 percent correct in identifying the taller speakers. This rate is much higher than what can be achieved by chance alone, according to the study, which is scheduled for donation Tuesday at an Acoustical Society of America meeting in San Francisco. The findings could validate useful in solving crimes, the researchers noted.
