Another relevant JAWS keyboard stroke for the texting of a page title is
INSERT + F10 to open a list of my open application windows. I'm always glad,
when the first letters of the title remain on a website. So I can easealy
navigate between windows. Thus please begin the text of your titles with a
short name of your app and then specify with a concise texting of the
current context, as e.g. WebAIM does.

Screen reader users can access the title element content at any time using
a keystroke, for example:
using JAWS using INSERT + T
