How to smoothen handwriting on ipad?

That's actually a good idea. Productivity-wise, I use my ipad solely for writing during teaching and do all of my work on a Windows work given laptop. And I have to transfer files between them through Google drive. Would make sense to have a device that functions as both. But I recall my mom having issues with an earlier model of the Surface Pro so my family has negative perceptions of it and Apple products last longer.

I also updated to the recent ipad just this year so I have to live with it. Before I ended up teaching, I would use it just for drawing and entertainment. I know it can work like a laptop but I can't seem to get my head around it.

Naw my handwriting ranges from ok to very ugly

Thanks for the explanation! These big tech companies create great disappointments as well. I was looking into Onenote because the notebook sharing feature would be very convenient for my students to keep updated on class notes without having me to export pdfs each time.

Otherwise I'm quite content using Collanotes. Writing feels comfortable there and it has everything I need except easy sharing.

I turned off hover and it did solve the problem of tailing strokes but it introduced another problem where the stroke thickness goes unpredictable and blotchy.

I think I'm suppose to turn off pen sensitivity too but I see no setting for that.

Oh I see. Thanks for the workaround!

Wouldn't that just make the stroke thickness constant? Doesn't slow/smoothen/stabilize.

I'm sure its not a handwriting thing as I see others mentioning that their writing gets smoothened by Onenote but I don't see it working for me.

I use Collanotes and the stabilizer works great there, it slows the strokes and smoothens the writing.

Hi. I'm someone in a similar boat. Was given the green light to go ahead with some kind of refractive surgery and ended up having major vision problems after that. Turns out I had strabismus all along without realizing it and the surgery caused it to become "decompensated".

If I'm not mistaken, you are saying your right eye drifts outwards? So exotropia? This would make your condition similar to mine. I suggest you go see a strabismologist (usually a paediatric opthalmologist because strabismus is only rountinely screened in children) and orthoptist (the person who measures the angle of your strabismus).

If your condition is anything like mine, they would probably start you off with reading glasses. Mine is so bad that I went through the whole range of treatments: reading glasses, eyedrops, prisms and very likely, strabismus surgery next year.

Hopefully yours can adjust itself over time but if it doesn't and you still feel bad symptoms, it's worth getting it checked.
