Right -- although many things that are ambiguous in text are disambiguated in actual speech, so the problems that arise with audio speech are not wholly the same as with text. A classic example is the word "record", which has first syllable stress as a noun, but second syllable stress as a verb. "I bought a RECord" vs "Please reCORD the music". (in the dominant American dialect; I don't recall about other dialects/countries)
