About

I suppose a few biographical words are required here.

I am Scott Royall, born in Bryan, Texas in 1956. Except for eight wonderful years in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I’ve lived in Houston all my life. I worked for Shell Oil for 14 years as a software developer before being laid off in April, 2002. Those interested can follow this link to view my resume.

Let’s not mince words. I’m physically disabled with Cerebral Palsy. I use a customized electric wheelchair to get around, but am unable to talk. That’s what prompted me to develop Xpress-It. With Xpress-It, a standard laptop computer, an automotive-type audio amplifier and speakers (all powered by my wheelchair), I can talk to anyone.

I am also Amateur Radio Operator W5RUA. The original W5RUA was my first mentor in ham radio, George Taylor, and I requested his callsign in memorial.You can find out more about me at W5RUA.
