Can you place alt text on the step of a slider????
Just a thought for you to review and test. The Alt text under the Accessibility feature can also store a variable, just like the example shown below.
Create a custom text variable with a default value of 'Never' (since the slider is at the first stop when the timeline starts on the slide). Then, set up triggers to update the variable as the slider value changes."
The screen reader should read the updated values of the custom text variable as the slider value changes.
As Nedim​ has suggested, this is a good solution. I've used this method in the past and tested with JAWS and NVDA and it works well for communicating the labels. It will also announces the number in range which is extra redundant information, but I think it provides the required information to assistive technology users.
