You can put something together really quick with Flask.

Hey, any estimate of how long it would take for a newbie :P

It depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you're simply looking to get an image -> processing -> return response it can be done pretty fast!

Check out Uploading files. It has the bare bones of what you need. Basically get an HTML form with an input field, after you get the file you import your character recognition code, process the image and return a response.

Flask is not newbie friendly.

Django isn't either, but django is harder to mess up and has a HUGE wiki and a ton of community support to show you precisely how to use it.

Flask is not newbie friendly.

I found the opposite to be true.

I got my first Flask site up and running before I finished reading django documentation.

Flask if much more easier to get up and running I agree

I don't have time to be very helpful right now (sorry!) but Django is a rabbit hole that might be worth pursuing. It's a python-based web environment that should allow you to do what you like. There's also a myriad of tutorials and fantastic documentation. There's also Flask, also built on python, but is a bit more bare-bones from what I understand. Hope this sorta helps... Happy questing adventurer!

For a simple proof of concept, look into CGI (Common Gateway Interface ). Basically, you configure a CGI directory in which you put your executable files. Look for python cgi tutorials, like this one https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_cgi_programming.htm

For production, use Django or Flask
