## Description

Speakol has created plugins that provide media publications, content providers, 
popular brands and start-ups an enhanced user interaction with topical media content
and new product launches.

Speakol – Speak Out Loud – was originally launched in 2012 as ‘Naqeshny’ (meaning
debate with me in Arabic), in the midst of the Egyptian Revolution. It was designed
as a free, democratic and open platform that facilitated healthy and critical political
debates and discussions around socio-political conditions within the country.

With a 400k+ strong user base, the name change and relaunch corresponds to Speakol’s
vision of going global.

Our priorities are to provide a unique service to media content publishers and brands
in the form of three plugins: Debates (debate between two presented sides to a story),
Argument Boxes (voting up or down on a topic) and Comparisons (discussion based 
on up to four options on any topic). Learn more [here](http://www.speakol.com/).

We have recently developed the Argument Box plugin for WordPress users for seamless
integration into your CMS or blog. The remaining plugins development (debates and
comparisons) is in progress.

### 󠀁[Would love to use it, but can't](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/would-love-to-use-it-but-cant/)󠁿

I have successfully installed the app, but, I need a ID to input into the wordpress
backend before it starts working. I have tried, over the course of many days, to
try to create an account on speakol to get this id. Every time I fill out the registration
form and hit submit, I get an error saying “array”. I have tried to contact speakol
through their “contact us” form, but, every time I submit the form it navigates 
me to a blank screen and never submits. Since this has been a problem that has been
lasting for days, I believe that this is very indicative of Speakol’s attention 
to this app and their associated support for it.
