Is there a desktop GO OCR? Who is winning and by how much?
White by all the points. Black has one safe group in the center. Black needs to play on both the bottom and right to protect the eye space of those groups. Whichever one dies, even if black can string something together on the left, it’ll only be a few points and white will have at least a quarter of the board.

OCR? Like in “Optical Character Recognition”?
If you have an iOS device you may want to look at Baduk Cap:
This can turn photos of a Go board w/ stones into SGF files, and it does so quite well, albeit only as one position. No scoring, though, IIRC.
The next version, Baduk Cap Pro, will be able to record games and make an SGF of it (tripod will be necessary). I don’t know how developer Thomas Breitling’s plans are for scoring in that coming version.
