What microphone should I use for language learning software?

[Mangudai]

Specifically Rosetta Stone, I know about the more popular, moderately priced mics out there like the Yeti etc. What I'd like to know is how much should I spend to get a mic that's good enough to be used with voice recognition/language learning software?

Thank you.

You want one made in the country you are trying to learn the language from. /s

Pretty sure the mic in your laptop will work fine. It is usually more about the mic that fits your comfort zone.

I use duolingo: https://www.duolingo.com/

The mic built into my 6-year-old 720p webcam is just fine.

I don't see why you'd need a special mic. Any old mic will do.
