A separate, "live" distribution offers a lot more tools for working on a
system than you'll have in any "rescue" mode of an unbootable machine.
If you can get to a shell prompt and your root file system is mounted,
then of course you can run your screen reader of choice. In my
experience, though, booting from a live image on a USB drive is
generally easier. It's good practice to have one available. If you're
running Debian testing or unstable, you're taking risks, so having a
live distribution that you can boot from is just good policy anyway.
