While working on a sandbox for some computer vision code I put together this sample application that receives video from Syphon (or a camera input) and sends the detected string out as an OSC message that can be received by another application.

The setup is simple:

1. In the main interface select a Syphon or camera feed to analyze.
2. In the OSC preferences select a target OSC host or manually enter an IP address / Port combination to send to.
3. In the OCR preferences select the desired language.

Download OCR-OSC 0.1 for Mac OS X (released Dec 3, 2015)

This app was written using the opensource Tesseract-OCR engine and VVOSC / VVBufferPool frameworks.

If you have any questions or problems please send me an email.
