I'm a sighted user and I'm using NVDA only with "no speech" option and with the speech viewer open. This makes it much faster for me to use, as I can jump to the relevant parts of the output directly by scanning through the speech viewer visually.
I know that I can open the speech viewer using NVDA+N, then T, then S, but this is cumbersome. I'd like to have an option "Display speech viewer when starting NVDA", as I normally start NVDA only for a few seconds, and then I quit it again so it doesn't interfere my keyboard (and slow down my computer, which is a Windows 7 virtual machine on Mac OS X).
In addition, it would be very nice if the window's last dimensions (width/height) and position (x/y) were remembered, as I usually want it side by side with my browser so they don't overlap each other.
I really hope this will be implemented. I'm working for the best known accessibility consultancy in Switzerland, and we are trying to get our clients to use NVDA themselves to produce highly accessible websites themselves without our help. So it would really make sense to make NVDA appeal a little bit more to sighted users, as typically it's them who create the websites that blind people use.
