It's a little more complicated than that. Because you can have psychosis without hearing voices...it's called thought insertion, where you believe that someone is changing your thoughts or inserting thoughts that are not yours into your mind.
I would say the difference is that OCD also has intrusive thoughts, but you don't think someone else is inserting them into your mind. You know they are your own thoughts, however unwanted those thoughts are to you.
