VNLabs or VN Labs is a software company based in San Jose, California, that specializes in input methods for various languages.
VN Labs was founded in 1984 by Viet Nguyen, an engineer at Teledyne, in Newport Beach, California.
The previous year, as a side project, he had created an PC-compatible input method for the Vietnamese alphabet to improve the usability of his friend's astrology program.
[1][2] Unlike its competitor VNI, which also developed an input method, VN Labs went beyond Vietnamese and the Little Saigon community.
[3] Versions for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating systems include an input method and various Unicode fonts.
