I'm sure you can put GRML on an USB stick with Universal USB installer.

GRML hasn't had many releases lately. They put out a new release only
every couple of years now a days. I am on the developers email list. I
haven't actually done any development but I test every release for
accessibility. So I am pretty sure the latest release has both speech and
braille.
I am pretty sure the way you get speech is still the same. Wait for grml
startup tones, press q to quit the menu, type "modprobe speakup_soft",
type "espeakup".
The last couple of times i needed to boot a machine to rescue it, I used a
Ubuntu disk because I usually have one of those around. That is probably
the big disadvantage of GRML, you have to think to make one of those in
advance. I like using CD-ROMs because you don't usually have to fiddle
with the BIOS. If you have a machine where you can leave the drawer open a
little, you can just keep the CD-ROM in there and simply push it closed to
boot from the CD-ROM. Only problem with that, of course, is that you might
as well go watch an episode of Discovery waiting for it to boot.

It used to be that GRML did, but I haven't used it for so long, I can't
say for sure now.
