In some languages, words are not separated by spaces, for example: Chinese, Japanese, Lao, Thai. This brings about difficulties for computer programs like VocabHunter, gritz and text-memorize, where words are detected only with spaces.

The solution is called “word segmentation”, which detects words and insert spaces in between. Sounds like easy, but they have to deal with ambiguities and unknown words including proper names, the time and accuracy are both to be considered. It can be based on the dictionary or machine learning.
