# frequencySkew

A multiple for the difference in frequency between the matched audio and the query audio.

## Declaration

```swift
var frequencySkew: Float { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A value of 0.0 indicates that the query and matched audio are at the same frequency. Other values indicate that the query audio is playing at a different frequency. For example, if the original recording plays at 100 Hz, a value of 0.05 indicates that the query recording plays at 105 Hz. No match returns if the frequency skew is too large.
