Here's the transcription of the video "How to Set Up Your Edison Bot with the EdBlocks App":

The video demonstrates setting up the Edison bot using the EdBlocks app. Here are the steps covered:

1. Log into edblocksapp.com and connect the Edison bot using a connecting wire into the headphone jack. Ensure the volume is turned all the way up.
2. Turn on the Edison bot and select a program to run. In the video, the 'Drive Example' program is chosen from the 'Load Demos' menu.
3. Plug the cord into the bottom of the bot. Press the record button once on the bot, then click 'Program Edison' in the app.
4. The bot will make a sound cycle, indicating it is receiving the program. Once the lights are on, you can unplug it.
5. To run the program, place the bot on a surface and push the triangle button.
6. For editing, the video demonstrates adding a backward movement to the program. Drag the desired command into the program, repeat the steps for programming the bot, and observe the new movement.
7. The final demonstration shows the bot moving forward, stopping, and then backing up, according to the edited program.

The video is a straightforward guide on using the EdBlocks app to program an Edison bot, showcasing the process of programming, editing, and running a simple command sequence.
