Apparently there's an open issue to recognize math in tesseract (open source OCR software)
https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/issues/detail?id=270 Unfortunately, tesseract seems to have limited support for layout analysis, so it's probably not going to recognize fractions/square roots. Anyways, such an idea would require to use external software unrelated to SymPy (camera handling, OCR, layout analysis and formulae syntax tree building). An OCR engine that working really well, even with very complicated formulae, is InftyReader. Unfortunately it's paid software, they sell the single license for 800 dollars I think (that's crazy!).
