In theory, you give the slider an
NSAccessibilityLabelUIElementsAttribute (using
accessibilitySetOverrideValue) which is a list of the ui elements
annotating each tick mark (most likely static text). The AXTitle or
AXDescription on those ui elements convey's the info you want.
You also need to give each of the label ui elements a
NSAccessibilityLabelValueAttribute so it can be inferred which slider
value the tick mark represents - for purposes of setting the slider,
not presenting to the user.
That's in theory... In practice, I'm not sure if VoiceOver takes
advantage of these attributes yet. I think it does, but if it doesn't
you should file a bug.

Is it possible to change the voiceover text for a NSSlider's tick
position to a custom string? By
default it is set to
100.0%, 66.7%, 33.3% and 0.0% (4 tick marks), and I would like to
change this to something
like Answer One,
Answer Two, Answer Three, Answer Four.
-Thanks, Kheng.
