Accordingly you didn’t forgot anything in the blocks, the code works. I remember you that “image recognizer” doesn’t work as google image looks-like finder but it gives you a description of what you capture with your camera. Tested 1 minute ago. ![2020-02-20_204644](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/2/c250df54636ed0d1a7e47fb818f442f6cf2ee2d8.png) ---

I tried it yesterday and the label that I wanted to show the description result of the image taken & uploaded just became blank 🤔 What happens in your project when testing @jilanihumraek6r57? ---

I finally found out the reason. It is because I have not put the image\_recognizer block inside the camera block. The variable Photo is actually a local variable that would be out of scope of the camera block. So the image\_recognizer block must be inside the camera block so that the variable Photo is still in the scope. The correct answer should be like this. ![Screenshot 2020-05-17 at 22.30.14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/c/fcde8d53d17ebcc7942ab6bd36dd5e85b02fcf97.png) ---
