You can use carousel events as per the document. Please try the below code.

var owl;
$(document).ready(function(){
  owl = $(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
    autoplay: false,
    autoplaySpeed: 300,
    loop: false,
    navSpeed: 300,
    items: 1,
    margin: 2
  });
  owl.on('changed.owl.carousel', function(e) {
    $('#continue-btn').html('Continue ' + e.item.index);
  });
});

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.owl-carousel .item {
  height: 120px;
  background: #4DC7A0;
  padding: 1rem;
  list-style: none;
  margin: 10px;
  text-align: center;
  color: white;
  font-size: 20px;
  line-height: 120px;
}
