if the slideshow is autoplaying and shouldn´t need to be navigated by the user you could just put a transparent shape above the slideshow and use this as trigger.

The other solution would require custom code. You would do it with javascript to listen for the mouseenter/leave action on the slideshow element and fadiIn/fadeOut your text element. you would adress the elements with the data-id of these, which you can find with the dev tools of your browser. there are some threads in this forum about using code in RM if you want to dive into it.
