Segmentation approaches, as processes that divide word into smaller parts which contain one letter at most, have important effect on cursive word recognition. While online cursive word recognition became applied technology in Latin and Chinese languages, complex structural features in Arabic-based script made it an important field of study in Persian and Arabic languages. In this paper, by introducing of Standard Persian Handwriting, we proposed a novel approach to segmentation online Persian cursive script based on width of letter's body in Persian language. Results are shown 99.86% accuracy in detection of expected segmentation points, while recognized extra points reduced 93.73% compared to our previous methods.
