My screenreader knowledge is minimal but iplayer have tested hCal on a
variety of outa the box screenreaders (sorry, can't give a full list - I'll
try and hunt it down). By default they all had abbreviation expansion turned
off and ufs passed with a  clean bill of health

I believe we also did very, very limited at home testing. Of 4 users 2 had
abbreviation expansion turned on. It's a stupidly low sample size which is
why we're appealing to screenreader users to help us out

It wouldn't be so much of a problem if it was just one hCal per page but for
a schedule day view we have quite a number:
