Wait the title attribute?

What are you basing that on? Screen readers tend to not pick those up at least on interactive elements by default, you need to do a bit of "wiggling" to get those to be announced. Disclaimer: screen reader user

JAWS user, here. It will read both aria-label and title, on a button, which is an interactive element. [0]

It does depend on the verbosity, if you dial that down, you'll probably lose the title element. But for images, which is what I was mentioning, it should pretty much always be read out.
