Has anyone used this headset with the Rosetta Stone program?

I have never used the headset with the Rosetta Stone software but I have used it with the Nuance Dragon speech software. The headset works great with that program. The microphone is of the electret design meaning (I think) that it is a powered mike and cancels noise surrounding the mike and focuses on the voice. I have used other mikes and I can really tell a big difference in performance. I hope this helps.

I have not but I have used the headset with Nuance Dragon software and they work excellently. Other than that I don't know how they would with Rosetta product. The microphone is electret which I think means it is noise cancelling. I would search for a good price because these things are all over the web.

After about six months, I purchased the Koss CS100 Speech Recognition Computer Headset from Amazon for about $20 including shipping. It provided a significant improvement over the headset supplied with my Dragon Ver. 9.0. So go ahead and 'splurge', it's well worth while in my opinion.

Yes. But since I have bought it, I had to buy a new headset. The one that came with stopped working within a few months.

Diffidently issues with this headset on W8.1, but so far it looks like it can be resolved to some extent.A lot of users reported problems getting mic to work, which was the case with me as well. I

I wish I could answer this for you, but I have never used it for anything except dictating to my computer. I do love it, and it makes dictating notes and emails so much easier, but I don't like the headset that comes with it. I ended up buying another one that is much more comfortable. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I have spoken to Plantronics. Vocalyst is a 3rd party service that is NOT required in order to use the headset.

I am not sure about the question but Rosetta Stone gives you headphones and you have to speak the language unless you do not want to use the speech part. It keeps up with your progress and you have to finish sentences and answer questions,etc. so I guess the answer would be no.

Yes, I use this headset with Ubuntu 13.04, mainly for Google Hangouts, and it works great.

Deidre, Yes it will work with Windows 7 as that is what I am using. I used my headset to create a seminar for a graduate-level class, which I had to save as a file. I have been working on my M.S. Degree online for five years now. I also found the headset comfortable to work with which is also very important.

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.

Sometimes, while I'm talking to my friends, if they start talking while I'm speaking, I can hear my voice on their end. And honestly I sound amazingly clear. Like a-whole-nother person. Everyone can hear you clearly and I'm pretty sure it will work well with your Rosetta Stone. :)

I don't have rosetta stone but it works well with my built in voice recognition.

Jerome, I've not tested the headset for any other use case beyond plugging it in my USB port. Interesting question, and sorry I don't have a good answer, but if you get one, would love to hear what it is. Good luck.

I haven't tried it with the program you are talking about. But if the program allows you to use the dictation with any headset, or even built in microphone (if you have a laptop etc...) than it should work. This device functions as a regular microphone, it takes over the control of any microphone input. This being said it should work. The microphone is very nice, small, and convenient for skype as well because it gives a clear sound. Plus, in the event that it doesn't work, the microphone is inexpensive and can be returned. Hope this helps.

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.

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.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.

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