Using this mic for Rosetta Stone language program Has anyone used this microphone with a Rosetta Stone Language program? We'd be plugging it into our Mac desktop. Any thoughtson that?

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

Good luck.By the way, try Livemocha.com - beats Rosetta Stone hands-down for many languages, if you are careful about choosing your friends and build good relationships with the better tutors - and it is free.

You MUST have Audacity installed on you MAC for this unit to function. Google Audacity for MAC to find the correct software; it's a free download. Once you have audacity installed you have to select the correct interface for input. It is the drop down next to the microphone icon in the Audacity program. I hope this helps,Flashwente

It will work for any device with a USB port and audio capabilities. Rosetta Stone is software, so it will depend on what device you use to listen to the software.

Absolutely - I've used it with Rosetta Stone, it seems to work great. I like that it has the dial volume on the headset, so I can increase the volume easily if I'm having trouble hearing the Rosetta Stone prompts.

Build in microphone is OK, but you should use Earphones... otherwise program cannot distinguish between you and itself. By the way, the program is great fun to use. I use it every day and I improved a lot... Georg in Germany.

I've never used the mic for chat, but it's quality for audio recording suggests to me it would be fine...especially for the price. I've not used it in videos, but based on my use in audio, it should be fine. Sorry couldn't be more definitive. I'd probably try it for those applications. Hope that helps a little.

No, I had the same problem when I bought the same mic. I have gone to the website that is on the box. But seems to be only in Japanese. Go to Walmart and get a Logitech headset or go look for a Logitech mic on Amazon. This is a piece of décor nothing more.

Yes, I'm using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12. This mic has worked well for over a year and a half and counting.

I have not tried either, yet I believe it works as a general mike. Since I use it for a vocal disability, it should work fine, yet I am unable to use it on Skype, Rosseta, Dragon, or other Application Programs, but only because my disability.

It should, but not as well as windows version. Check software requirements. Mac version crashes a lot. Consider purpose of use. Also buy a really good mic and not one from nuance, Quality of mic matters a lot! It comes with 30 day money back if buying from nuance.

I am not sure but I believe there would be a Rosetta Stone version for windows. The product is great. I would get in touch with RS directly and ask the question. It worked perfectly for me on a Mac.

I dont know about that, but I do know that it is a great little mic -I had to use two filters, though, since it is very sensitive. I use it directly on my macbook pro and my costumers cannot tell the difference from my professional AKG.

Can anyone confirm that they have used this mic while recording video. I'm looking to record video and high quality audio without having to sync up the feeds

I use my to record to my Mac but I also have and M-AUDIO FatTrack Pro mixer and a PreSonuys Tube Prev2 amp to supply more power to the mic. Sorry it took my awhile to get back to you!

I have never used that software. It works great with Rosetta Stone. Sorry I could not be of more help.
