(All from memory, so may be inaccurate...)

RHEL installer has brltty (braille output) support IIRC; it didn't used
to have speakup support (although Fedora did), but maybe it does now.
Ubuntu also has a screenreader-assisted install option, that requires
pressing some magic key combo at boot time.
