| Activating a timeline marker causes screen reader to read entire text contents of slide. | Enhancement | Identified | Screen reader | <div class="tl-slider-container tlanimate" aria-live="polite"> | Reading the entire contents of a slide when it comes into view is too much at once and it might get interrupted by other interactions.Maybe read just the heading and let user navigate to the slide to navigate the contents as they like. |

Research direction
Start by reproducing timeline marker activation with a screen reader and inspect the implementation around the example <div class="tl-slider-container tlanimate" aria-live="polite">. Done means activating a marker announces only the slide heading rather than the entire slide text, while the remaining content stays available for navigation.
