Poornima,

Visit any Amazon.com page and you will notice that they have a screen reader message for their Similar Product carousel. You can name the region whatever you want as long as it makes sense. Keep it short to the point.

Subject: [WebAIM] How to label the carousel region?

Hi All,

This is regarding a feedback I got to know from a screen reader user about Carousel element. His feedback says "carousel should be given a region name or label" to know they are entering into the carousel region.

I would like to hear your advice for the carousel region name and label for Dot buttons present in carousel. Also any implementation suggestions are appreciated.
