Is this good with Rosetta Stone?

I don't have experience with Rosetta Stone, but I like my Koss CS100. I'm using it for skype to talk to people around the world and everything is clear and the sound is good.

I don't have Rosetta Stone, but I do use this with another language program (Fluenz) and there is no reason why it shouldn't be just fine with anything. It is more a matter of compatibility with the computer or whatever than it is with the software program.

I have Windows 8, and it works perfectly. Not sure what other version of Windows it will work with. I'm sure if you call Rosetta Stone, they will have an answer for you.

Since I don't have your computer in front of me I can't say. The people at Rosetta can and will be able to help you. After installing my version I had to do a system recovery. It took out the program when I did it. The Rosetta folks re-installed it for me on line. They should help you too. The program is often a one time install to prevent it being passed around.

Hi! It is an excelent tool for professional translation. It has several dictionaries and so far there is not a software that does what this tool does

I don't know what Totale is, so I'm guessing it didn't come with this version. Also, unless you have had some French I think Rosetta Stone is hard.

Yes, It has a rather complete selection of languages, and quite simple to configure, good luck :D

Not that I know of. U will need to purchase a version with the language of your choice

Been so long since I have used this I really could not say for sure. If you could use it, I imagine you can find better devices out there. QQ for example do have a translator built in to the international edition of the program. My suggestion is try that.

The one that you purchase from Amazon is designed for PC use. However, Rosetta Stone just rolled out as a part of the online access, tablet and smartphone use. I do not know how well it works, since I have very limited bandwidth due to us living out in the sticks and I have to use a satellite system for net access. With my purchase from Amazon, I was able to access Rosetta Stone's online program (called "totale", I believe) that allows me to sync the online program with my desktop, so when I travel, I can use my laptop and the hotel bandwidth to access lessons and live tutoring sessions. Again, that's done on a PC, not a tablet.

Midway through I tried out Pimsleur and I found it a lot more practical than Rosetta Stone. Eventually I switched to group classes. In general I would say RS is great for a quick start and vocabulary, Pimsleur is great for practical phrases but in the end there's nothing like a real teacher.

Sorry, Kathy, but I don't know. I had to send it back because it wasn't compatible with Fluency or EditScript, both of which my company uses for transcription platforms. The IT people sent me the right foot pedal -- an Infinity!

My daughter has been using this for over 2 years. We have never added other users so I don't have the answer to that question. My daughter took spanish for 3 years in school; 8th, 9th and 10th grade. She decided to pick it back up in college and Rosetta Stone helped her to bridge the two year gap. She also learned more than prior years in school. I would definately recommend this software.

Yes, it displays phrases in romaji, hirigana/katakana, and kanji. The is also an option that has kanji with furigana, which is what I use mostly.

I don't use any of those programs but I can say it has worked with everything I have used so far. The problems I have seen usually are in the setting up where you add what you want as input. Once set you should have no problems.

Yes this is fine For Rosetta Stone usage. Personally I would use a headset with built in mic.

I use windows 8 on my laptop. I absolutely LOVE Rosetta Stone. I am learning italian and it is by far the best lesson plan I have EVR had.

I think it could work, but it would depend highly on the mental age of the child; if you're coming from a non-pictograph language, the first problem you will have is that you hear a lot of sounds but no distinct words and following along with the printed text doesn't help because you can't read it. I found I was really struggling with Rosetta Stone until I took a few days to learn both Hiragana and Katakana phonetic writing systems (46 characters each, but the sounds are the same). Once I did that, the whole thing made complete sense because I could match up what I was hearing with what I was seeing. Japanese as a whole is not an overly complex language; it doesn't have a lot of exceptions to the rule, but there are some significant differences with a language such as English. Before you spend this kind of money on something a child may or may not stick with, I would strongly suggest using the web to see how they take to learning Hiragana and Katakana. There are some excellent apps out there for iOS (Dr Moku's Hiragana and Katakana apps, for example).
