Not that I know of, but my knowledge of Macs and 3rd party Mac software is limited.
If you have DOCX then after doing what you can in Word, assuming you know how to use it, you could import it into the calibre editor and make use of its Spellchecker, Search and Replace features to fix errors. If you need help doing that create a new thread in the Editor subforum.
Or you could use the Sigil Epub editor, it has a DOCX import plugin and its ePubTidy plugin can be used to fix common OCR problems. I've used the DOCXImport plugin to good effect, but I've not used ePubTidy. Sigil has a Spellchecker and Search and Replace that are very similar to calibre editor.
