I type on glass without autocorrect. I use that bar of predictions above the keyboard, which occasionally suggests words that slightly differ from what I typed, and if I made a typo, I'll gladly accept the correction. But I'd never use a "feature" that changes what I typed after I already moved on to the next word. I wouldn't call it painful, but maybe I'm unusually good at hitting the intended key most of the time.

Google's keyboard recently added the ability to auto-correct a word back, which I find really useful when I'm using swipe typing -- usually I'll fix as I go anyway, but I'm not infallible and if I expected a swipe to give me the right word, I might not otherwise notice until I go back to proof-read before hitting send.
