I am just working on speech recognizer block. Here is my piece of code. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/2/62599d94a53ac2b54bcb419d74d1f0b435d0f2c5.png) I want it to listen to the speech and convert it to text. But this doesn’t work. Should I change anything. Thanks Manimala ---

More info is needed here. What type of device you are using (Android or iOS)? What version of the operating system in your device? Is the speech service working on your device? Can you use blocks similar to this to test if your phone is displaying an error? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/1/01aaccad5e9693ce7c375afe8d089f65a292dde6.png) You can get this block by right click on the block and choose **show advanced block** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/4/f44f9ed6b9a00b7b7fa8f0d1a7d07841b3ae54e9.png) ---

If you are confident the speech recognition works with apps other than Thunkable then we need one of [@Thunkable\_Staff](https://community.thunkable.com/groups/thunkable_staff) to advise us on this situation. ---
