We present in this paper a comparative study of two segmentation methods of handwritten Arabic text. The first method is a combination of the Mathematical Morphology (MM) and the algorithm of construction of the Outer Isothetic Cover of a digital object (OIC) named MM-OIC. The second method uses the Hough Transform (HT) andMMto segment the handwriting Arabic script called HT-MM. These methods are applied for two levels of segmentation: text lines and Pieces Words. The two proposed methods are evaluated and compared to the three databases : IFN/ENIT-database, BSB and KSU online databases. We propose a concept for automatic evaluation of the results, based on label tools for the different parts of the used documents.
