[NFBCS] viewing the contents pane in Autopsy by slooth Kit using NVDA and Windows 10

[Amelia Pellicciotti]

Thank you Chris and Tracy,
My instructor is very flexible and would probably allow me to run autopsy in whatever manner works best. I will try the command prompt when I return home this morning. A follow up question would be,
How feasible would it be to run Jaws in a virtual machine? The specs required on vispero’s website seemed too prohibitive. I have 16 gb ram, 4 CPu cores with 8 threads, and a 1 tb hard-drive. That is not accounting for any graphics card or video driver issues I might encounter. The computer is only a year old and so has modern hardware and software. Sent from my iPhone
