Subject: [WebAIM] accessible rotating image scripts?

Hi all,

Does anyone utilize any scripts for displaying a series of automatically refreshing images in an accessible format?

This may be a long shot, but ideally, I am looking for a way to cycle through a selection of images automatically, and display associated text (i.e. a quote or a caption) for each photo. There would need to be a way to (at the very least) pause the rotating images to accommodate those with visual/cognitive disabilities.

I welcome any pointers/suggestions
