The speech recognizer causes my app to crash on Thunkable Live and downloaded to my iOS device. It freezes before it says what the error was. ---

I do have a lot of screens. Is there a known cap to how many screens I can have while having a working speech recognizer? Does it depend on the device? ---

An app can freeze/crash for a variety of reasons. Can you post a screenshot of the blocks you’re using for speech recognition? ---

As a good coding practice, avoid assigning values to variables / labels before actually checking the **error** value. If there is an error then show it to the user and avoid running the rest of the codes. See this example ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/a/aa2e47f7bd912cef8d150c672319652d7bc427c1.png) ---
