Bringing it together

You know each piece. Now run them all at once.

Last time you learned to add a clue and check the answer. A clue is one short hint that tells the app what it is looking at.

Today you do something bigger. You run the whole thing, start to finish. Here are the five small steps:

Pointaim your phone at the thing
Phototake one clear picture
Clueadd one word about what it is
Askask one plain question
Checkread the answer one time

This loop is great for a street sign, a plant, a bug, or a label on a box.

But some things are too important to leave to a photo. For medicine, money, official papers, or food you might eat, the answer is only a first look. Then ask a real person you trust.
