[Grml] Does speakup continue to work in grml after installation to hard drive?

To whom it may concern:

I am attempting to get an answer to a question before I change back to permanently using grml as my production os. Does speakup screen reader continue to work in grml 12.05 after it has been installed on the hard drive?

There was a previous version I tried and, after installation, I couldn't get it to talk again. I hope this one will.

Thanks for your help.
