The `[gear] list` block is causing the problem. You set the variable to a list but then are comparing it to a string (the green `value` block). You can’t really do that. Remove the `[gear] list` block. 🤪 I think that block should come with a warning message: “Are you SURE you want to use this block?” So many people misuse it. I would say I use it in less than 1% of the programming I do with Thunkable. ---

That’s okay. You are setting the variable value to null. Do not do that. You erase its value when you set it to null. You are also trying to use if/else conditions before you know if the speech to text is working. Please try **only** a block that says set label’s text to [value]. When you do that, what is displayed? ---

When you preview your app and say “you’re welcome” does it display “you’re welcom” (without the “e”)? Can you share a link to your project? ---

When I say “May I help you”, your project displays “May I help you” but you are checking to see if it equals “may I help you” which is a different string. I would recommend converting the `green` value block to lowercase before comparing it. ---

Yes. But I would also put the `if app variable say = Label word's Text` blocks inside of the Recognize function. ---
