[Trainer-Talk] accessible screen casting software

Mon Jul 27 18:19:24 UTC 2020

Another option off of what Humberto said is doing a windows print screen
and your computer auto makes a screenshot folder in docs for u so you can
pull it out any time or if you want to know what the picture is with jaws
you can do insert space, p, f and wait for your virtual viewer to tell u
about it
