Brush stroke correction/stabilization?

Question

I make vector portraits by tracing the ref image with the brush tool. That process is easy when I use Medibang Paint Pro, which has a Correction option in which you can make your lines smoother AS you draw. This causes the stroke to lag behind the pen and turn out much smoother while you're drawing the said stroke. My hands are a little shaky so it's quite a useful feature to have.

So far I've only seen solutions that suggest adjusting the Fidelity option, which isn't what I'm looking for.

Is there any way that the Correction feature translates into Illustrator?

I use Adobe Illustrator CC 2019 and a Wacom Intuos Draw tablet.

You can use plugins for that:Dynamic Sketch (for a stabilized brush kind of tool)ToolShed (for a stabilized pencil)

This feature is recently available in Photoshop, and indeed helps a lot to create more elegant curves. Just like Paint Pro, Photoshop is a pixel-oriented application and can simply and quickly turn pixels into a color, and that's it. For a vector application to create anything in a similar freehand manner, it constantly needs to do a different kind of calculations to decide where to jot down these crucial anchor points and their directional handles. That's a totally different thing.Hopefully those plugins Monika mentioned can yield a similar sense of vector elegance while drawing.On a side note: many users of styluses are complaining about Photoshop working so slow, nowadays. So in fact, they're experiencing this intentional lag as a flaw ! They just need to bring the correction down to zero, but don't know of its existence...
