Horizontal and vertical splitters now announce where they are collapsed, if they are. They also play closer together, something you can really hear if you focus on a field with multiple embedded text items such as Finder tags or auto-completed email addresses. Sound effects play along with speech, at least to my ear, instead of finishing before speech can start. Nuance voices are slightly less so, but are still better than in previous versions of OS X. Sounds take up less time, and the Alex voice has become extremely responsive. The overall responsiveness of VoiceOver has been improved.

If you use Karbibeaner and Spiel to remap your Caps Lock key for use with VoiceOver, you can remove those utilities now if that's you, don't forget to go back into System Preferences > Keyboard and turn your caps lock key back on. You can choose between Control and Option (default on pre-10.11 machines), Caps Lock, or Control/Option and Caps Lock (default in 10.11). To set this up, open the VoiceOver Utility, select General from the categories table, and find the popup button to change this new setting. Just like in other screen readers, pressing caps lock twice will toggle caps lock on or off.

At long last, you can use the caps lock key as a Voiceover modifier, letting you press just caps lock instead of both control and option.
