Speech is not text.) Next edit →
Line 1: '''~~Written text~~Text segmentation''' is the process of dividing written text into [[word]]s or other similar meaningful units. The term applies to [[human mind\|mental]] processes used by humans when reading text, and to artificial processes implemented in [[computers]], which are the subject of [[natural language processing]]. The problem may appear relatively trivial for written languages that have explicit word boundary markers, such as the word spaces of written [[English language\|English]] or the distinctive initial, medial and final letter shapes of [[Arabic language\|Arabic]]. When such clues are not consistently available, the task often requires fairly non-trivial techniques, such as statistical decision-making, large dictionaries, as well as consideration of syntactic and semantic constraints.
