Lao Script for Windows (also known simply as LSWin) is an extension to the Windows® operating system to make it easy to use Lao language with many different Windows® applications.

Lao Script for Windows includes both Unicode and non-Unicode Lao fonts, and a keyboard mapping application that automatically wraps Lao text at word boundaries with compatible applications. When used with Microsoft® Word, Lao spell-checking, sorting according to Lao dictionary order and font conversion are available as menu functions. Similar capabilities are available for other Microsoft® Office applications, and can be added for many other applications through use of the Lao Script for Windows function library.

A Thai to Lao translation option greatly helps the translation of Thai texts to Lao language.

Lao Script for Windows has been widely used in Lao PDR and around the world since its first release in 1993.
