my fault, sorry, I should have given some details about the page.
It's an example for one of the so-called sliders, where you can slide text or images without going
to another page.
This one looks like a file card with tabs at the top, where the tabs are links to the different
"slides" with Lorem ipsum text (just placeholder text in pseudo Latin) on each of them. As soon
as a mouse user clicks on a tab, the text or image slides off and the next one
follows.

I am wondering how accessible this is for screenrader users.

Thank you very much for checking this out.
