Hi, The Recovery HD has the base system on it so it will run everything you need including VoiceOver and various built-in utilities. As mentioned, you first format the Macintosh HD only, thus, your base system is not affected. When you ask to re-install Mavericks, it is downloaded from the Internet and placed on your Macintosh HD partition. Some processes are set up and your Mac restarts from the Macintosh HD and the installation is completed.
HTH. Later...
