I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. I had a similar experience. Witeboard seems to have trouble with curves. Trying to draw an "o" would invariably result in geometric shapes, a perfect circle, or some sort of rectangle. I was experiencing a lot of latency as well, which only aggravated the situation.

There's a shape detection checkbox in the menu. That's probably the cause of geometric shapes.

That stopped it from conversion to perfect circles or elongated rectangles, but I still have issues drawing anything with smooth curves. E.g. Here's a side by side just drawing "o's" at varying speeds on witeboard and ziteboard.[0]

To get anything remotely legible on witeboard, I have to be exceptionally slow. Even then, it's not a great result.

Thanks for the tip.

I tried turning off that option and unfortunately it didn't improve things at all.
