"Time stretching is the process of changing the speed or duration of an
audio signal without affecting its pitch. Pitch scaling or pitch
shifting is the opposite: the process of changing the pitch without
affecting the speed." -

OTOH this short explanation is very vague. A pitch shifter usually
transforms the audio signal by adding a Micky Mouse vocal effect, so for
pitch shifting without this effect, a time stretching software is
needed.
