I think you're confused. The Rosetta Stone language learning software, which is what this thread is discussing, is meant for ordinary people. (The makers of that software do also offer an Endangered Language Program for endangered language communities.) The academic project you mentioned for recording dead or endangered languages is the Rosetta Project, which seems to have no connection to the makers of the Rosetta Stone software.
