I've done it several times, and if you look at the recent thread on doing a clean install, that's exactly what you want to do. Yes, it is all accessible, with one exception. When you boot into Recovery mode, you will need sighted help to ensure you arrow to the right drive. That is why I suggest making an install disk on a thumb drive if you can; you can re-use it as often as you like, and you can use Startup Disk in System Preferences to tell your Mac to boot into it before you restart. This way you can do everything on your own. Anyway, once you are in your installer or Recovery HD, hit cmd-f5 to start VO. You might be using the old Fred voice, but you will definitely have speech.
