Contains Function Not Acting as Expected

Hi,

 

I am trying to use the "Contains" formula below with an If statement to replace strings of text containing the word "OPERATOR".

 

If Contains([speech_txt], "OPERATOR",1) then [speech_txt] = "OPERATOR" else [speech_txt] endif

 

But the text highlighted below doesn't change. Any idea whats happening?
