Scribie and California: A Match Made in... Well, Not Quite Heaven
So, you're dreaming of a life of transcription glory, typing away to your heart's content, and earning a pretty penny while you're at it? You've heard whispers of Scribie, the transcription wonderland, and you're ready to dive in. But hold your horses, California dreamin' folks! There's a slight catch.
The Golden State, the Silver Lining, and Scribie
California, the land of sunshine, celebrities, and overpriced avocados, is undeniably alluring. But when it comes to Scribie, the magic might fizzle out a bit. You see, Scribie and California have a bit of a rocky relationship. It's like trying to pair wine and fish - technically possible, but not exactly ideal.
Why the Drama? You might be wondering what's the big deal? Well, it all boils down to a little thing called AB5. This California labor law has thrown a wrench into the works for many freelance platforms, including our beloved Scribie. To put it simply, Scribie hasn't quite managed to wiggle its way into AB5 compliance yet.
So, Can Californians Actually Use Scribie?
The short answer is: not as transcribers. If you're in California and itching to turn your typing skills into cash on Scribie, you're out of luck for now. But fear not, hopeful Californians! There's always hope for the future. Scribie is aware of the situation and might just work its magic to find a solution.
But wait, there's more! While Californians can't transcribe for Scribie, they can absolutely use Scribie's transcription services. So, if you've got a mountain of audio or video files that need transforming into text, Scribie is still your go-to.
