Eddie,
Speech should not go away when you run a system update on Android. I
seem to remember that someone on the Eyes-Free list lost speech, but he
was using a different TTS, which needed to be updated. If you're using
the default Google TTS, you should be fine.
Remember to plug your phone into a power source before updating. The
update won't run if your battery is around 50% or less.
You should be able to dismiss the system update notification by tapping
Remind me Later. If that doesn't work, try double-tapping Back or Home.
Ciao
