The present disclosure relates to a handwritten text recognition method, including: acquiring an information sequence including a plurality of track points of handwritten text, wherein information on each track point comprises its abscissa, writing time and writing state value; dividing the plurality of track points into a plurality of strokes according to the writing state value of each track point, the writing state value including a first value representative of stroke pen-up and a second value representative of stroke pen-down, respectively; calculating a first segmentation threshold of the handwritten text; determining a first text segmentation point according to a result of comparison between an absolute value of a difference between abscissas of a start track point of one stroke and an end track point of its previous stroke and the first segmentation threshold; and performing text segmentation according to the first text segmentation point to obtain a text segmentation result.
