Okay, in that case you will need to use a [Custom Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014), and have the Cloud Vision results written to a User Specific column. You can then extract the value that you need and use it to build a relation to your existing data. If that relation is not empty, then you have a duplicate and you can present an error message and prevent form submission.
