Hi Ethan,
What if you duplicated the heading text from the graphics in standard
HTML but made it the same color as the background? You could also use
the size tag to minimize how much space it took up while still coding it
at H1. That would give Jaws and other screen readers something to
process. You would probably want to use spacer alt tags (*) on the
images if you go that way, so screen reader users don't hear the names
twice. That would put two versions of the headings in place, one
invisible to typical users and the other invisible to screen readers.
Just a thought,
