Aspects of the present disclosure relate to dynamic pitch adjustment of inbound audio to improve speech recognition. Inbound audio may be received. Upon receiving the inbound audio, clusters of speech input may be detected within the received inbound audio. An average pitch may be detected from the inbound audio, using either subparts of the inbound audio or one or more of the detected speech clusters. A determination may be made using, among other things, the average pitch. Based on this determination, the pitch of the inbound audio may be adjusted. The adjusted input may then be passed to a speech recognition component.
