I'm not sure about the Braille display. I know VoiceOver does not load at all. When OS X safe-boots, it doesn't load any third-party items, such as KEXTs, launch agents, launch daemons, startup items, fonts, any user login items, or any user-specific launch agents. When you are in Save Mode, nothing but the bare essentials load. This is done for specific troubleshooting and you can't turn on any services through Safe Mode. You probably can in Single User mode, but this is a terminal line only interface, and,a again, I don't believe VO loads.
