There's an option on the binding labeled "Continuously Updates Value" in IB. Make sure that's on. (or set it in the options dictionary if you're using the API call to bind).
On a separate note, instead of a timer to check for changes, try setting a delegate on that NSTextField and watching for the controlTextDidChange: notification. You'll get those when the contents of the field change in any way (so you'll get one after each letter typed, for example), so you'll know precisely when a change is made. But, if you fix the binding, you shouldn't need this at all.
