A method for Arabic and Latin text block differentiation for printed and handwritten scripts is proposed. This method is based on a morphological analysis for each script at the text block level and a geometrical analysis at the line and the connected component level. In this paper, we present a brief survey, of existing methods used for scripts differentiation as well as a general characteristics of Arabic and Latin scripts. Then, We describe our method for the differentiation of these last scripts. We finally show two experimental results on two different data sets. 400 text blocks constitute the first one and 335 text blocks compose the second.
