to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

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

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.

Actually, I bought the thing myself after no one replied, and it Indeed does not work with the TRS plug in a PC. The reason being, the microphone requires a voltage that can only come from an Olympus product. Building a phantom-power source for this mic is not practical nor feasible.After that ordeal, I bought the Audio-Technica ATR-35S Lavalier Microphone (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006I51V), and it works just fine, although a different Audio-Technica product would have been a better choice for me, their website has more products than Amazon. Hope this prevents more bad purchases,Kevin Actually, I bought the thing myself after no one replied, and it Indeed does not work with the TRS plug in a PC.

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

This is a good question. But the fact is that unfortunately (may be fortunate according to your request) the microphone does not work for me from the very beginning.

Yes I gifted this Mic to my partner and she is using it on Windows 8 only. It works great with Skype and Viber.

Hello Carlos, This program is used by my wife for her interpretation business, so I do not use it personally. I can tell you that you can set up two profiles within it, one Spanish and one English, and use the program either way. Once you have trained the program to your voice and way of speaking, it is very accurate. About the only thing that will make the program lose accuracy is when there are other noises in the room. If you have a good microphone and a quiet environment, the program is almost perfect, and making corrections is easy too. Be sure that you have enough memory in RAM, and that you have enough hard disc space available too. These files can get pretty big, and if you are running low on either memory, the program will begin to do strange things. I upgraded my wife's computer so that she wouldn't have to worry about this for a while, and she hasn't had any issues with the program. I highly recommend it!

Yes it worked well for that, however, when I used it for Skype the microphone was not sensitive enough to be heard.Have you used it for Skype and if so, how did it work?

It didn't work with mine. It's not a very good product. Plus it's old. I'm sure a new better microphone product has been released since.

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.

Yes. I use it with Dragon 12 Basic. It picks up dictation better than the mic that came with Dragon.

Could be the Connecting cord attached to the mic, or a Program error within the Mic, or If you have a Linux Like me, Incompatibility issues, It's been a while since I used this mic and It only really worked with my Camera. I'd Say purchase a Different Mic, or experiment connecting it to other devices, and if you have another Connector cord try that too. Hope that Helps

Im no expert but this does have a mic input that you can use, I use it and it worked out fine once I figured out how to connect everything...what helped me was I did a search for this model to find out the how's and what's-- it would be capable of. They also have a website which if you google the model you can find loads of info that will be helpful, thats how I did my research, good luck hope my answer helped you out

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5
