Rosetta Stone, maker of the popular software for learning a language, has released an interactive app for the Apple iPad and iPad 2 called TOTALe Companion HD. Rosetta Stone users with an active Rosetta Stone TOTALe (from $179 for level 1, 4 stars) account can access all their language learningcourse content on the app, whichis free to download but requires authentication (TOTALe username and password). Rosetta Stone has had an iPhone app for several months, but this new iPad version rounds out some features that had been missing on the smaller device.
The iPad, with its multitouch input capability and gesture-controlled touchscreen, is an extremely attractive platform forRosetta Stone, because its language programs cater to people who learn best in a blended, interactive, and self-paced environment. When using the software on a desktop or laptop, Rosetta Stone studentsrely on mousing and clicking, even more so than keyboard input. Removing the mouse and replacing it with actual touch motion makes a lot more sense.
The app syncs with users' Rosetta Stone TOTALe account, allowing them to pick up their learning program in the app wherever they left off on any other device.
