Hi I am a university student and I am trying to create an app prototype. I have a Mac book pro I am doing this on. For one of the pages I am using Object Recognition, which I have set up and working but I want to try and achieve that when a word comes up from the photo in object recognition eg. Cup. I want to correspond the word with a video. Is there any way I can do this?? Thank you. ---

Hi @monica.t.houstonxeb7, welcome to Thunkable! Yes, you can definitely do this. It’s helpful if you post a screenshot of your blocks but from memory, you would do something like this: ```auto If [green description block] contains "cup" do play video [cup.mp4] ``` You could also use the tags block in place of the description block. ---

Hi @tatian, Thank you so much for replying. That does make a lot of sense, I will give this a go and see if it works. If not Ill send a picture of the blocks. Thank you again. - Monica ---

Hi, Sorry to ask again but I can’t seem to get it working. I deleted all my tries and error, but this time I took a screen shot of how the app is looking so far. ![Screenshot 2021-04-22 at 16.13.17](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/1/013e22cdb16f8ab7baafaf0d54c4d2fadb3f40be.png) ![Screenshot 2021-04-22 at 16.13.29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/0/10e02b68ebaa0ac82eb3e644902ade6087808a4a.png) Is there anyway you’re able to help again, please? ---

Instead of setting the label’s text to the description, you need to check the value of the description block using an If block. You can learn more about If blocks (conditionals) here: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/RAtGL5GUmj0/maxresdefault.jpg "Using If Statements In Your Thunkable App [Snap to Place]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAtGL5GUmj0) ---
