A method and device for identifying word boundaries in continuous text compares the continuous text to a set of varying length strings to identify candidate word-initial boundaries and candidate word-final boundaries in the continuous text. Each candidate word-initial boundary and candidate word-final boundary has an associated probability value. Each candidate word boundary in the continuous text is identified by calculating a word boundary score for such candidate word boundary using the probability values associated with the candidate word-initial boundaries and candidate word-final boundaries. The set of varying length strings may include words and n-grams.
