Get started using Epiphan Edge with LiveScrypt

The LiveScrypt transcription solution has two main components: a hardware device and an automated cloud-based transcription service. You must pair the LiveScrypt device to your free Epiphan Cloud account that has transcription services set up before you can use the device for live transcription. You can set up an account the first time you pair your LiveScrypt device or you can set it up in advance, see Login and account information.

A device ID pairing code appears on the touch screen when the LiveScrypt device isn't paired. You'll need that to pair the device with Epiphan Cloud.

Before you begin

Before you can pair a LiveScrypt device to your Epiphan Cloud team and start using it, you'll need:

    • An Epiphan Cloud account, see Login and account information.
    • A LiveScrypt device connected to the Internet.
    • Access to LiveScrypt's front screen.
    • An admin computer connected to the Internet.
    • Internet access

For full instructions to set up and operate your LiveScrypt device with Epiphan Cloud, see the LiveScrypt User Guide.

Now that you're ready to get started with Epiphan Cloud, let's log in and pair your device.

Log in and pair the device

  1. Using a web browser on your admin computer, log in to Epiphan Cloud at: go.epiphan.cloud
  2. In the far-right corner of the header bar, click Pair device to pair your LiveScrypt device to your default team.

  3. Enter the pairing code and a name for the device.

  4. (Optional) Create a group for your paired devices or add the device to an existing group. An Epiphan Cloud Premium plan is required for this feature.
  5. Select Pair device. Your device is now paired and the LiveScrypt device Settings page opens.

    6. TIP: While LiveScrypt is paired, you can configure your device using LiveScrypt's touch screen, the Web UI, or Epiphan Cloud. The changes you make update automatically in Epiphan Cloud. For full instructions to setup and operate your LiveScrypt device, see the LiveScrypt User Guide.
