Is there a device that will correct vocals to pitch during real time
singing?

Grass Instruments makes a number of electric shock devices. Putting one
on the performer's genitalia and pressing the button when he or she
dramatically leaves standard pitch will have a very salutary effect on
maintaining correct notes.

IME far from encouraging maintenance of the correct notes it actually
stimulates production of some very strange ones ... As a slightly milder
alternatively you could try the Antares Autotune ...

I have heard folks try and use the Autotune live, and the results were not
pleasant ones. First off the monitor mix needs to be unprocessed, so the
singer can hear what is going on and because of the delay through the autotune
box. Secondly, the overall frequency quantization makes everything sound
very unpleasant and robotic if it's used on the whole signal. The effect is
much more annoying than the occasional out-of-tune note.

Autotune is a great tool when you can use it in moderation on a note here
and there, but in a live situation you don't have any advance notice for
when you're going to be needing it, so you have to use it on everthing. And
it sounds really repulsive used on everything, even lightly.
