Abstract. Word segmentation is an important task in natural language processing, especially for languages without word boundaries, such as Thai language. Many Thai word segmentation programs have been de-veloped. Researchers and developers in Thai documents usually spend a tremendous amount of time in studying and trying different Thai word segmentation programs. This paper presents the performance of six Thai word segmentation programs which include Libthai, Swath, Wordcut, CRF++, Thaisemantics, and Tlexs. Based on experimental results, we compare these programs in terms of usage, response time, time outs, and relevance.
