Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Microsoft Whiteboard lag on E-ink Android tablets?
E-ink screens have different refresh rates compared to standard LCD or OLED screens. Applications like Microsoft Whiteboard require specific software optimization to handle stylus inputs without lag on E-ink displays, which it currently lacks.
Can I use the web version of Microsoft Whiteboard instead?
Yes, you can navigate to the Microsoft Whiteboard web application using your Onyx Boox's built-in browser. However, browser-based stylus responsiveness may still vary depending on your tablet's refresh mode settings.
What is a good alternative for annotating documents on Onyx Boox?
The built-in Onyx NeoReader is excellent for native note-taking. For professional document editing and full Microsoft Office compatibility, WPS Office is highly recommended as a lightweight and responsive alternative.
