“Biscotti TV Phone was created to let family and friends of all ages enjoy video calling on the biggest screen you own. It has been designed to be elegant and tiny, and to blend into your living room, “ said Dr. Matthew B. Shoemake, CEO and Founder of Biscotti Inc. “Biscotti is easy for everyone to use and provides whole-room views. To top it off, calls are free!”

Biscotti is ideal for staying close to long distance family and friends, for traveling parents who don’t want to miss life’s little moments with their families, for seniors who want to stay caught up with their busy relatives and consumers who appreciate technology that’s intuitive and easy to use. No need to wait for the computer to start, launch applications or crowd around a small screen. The high-definition camera and microphone capture the entire room, allowing everyone to fit on screen and move about freely. So you can relax, be comfortable and talk for hours like you are in the same room. It’s the next best thing to being there! 

Biscotti TV Phone is easy for the whole family to use. No computer or technical knowledge is required – only a TV, Wi-Fi and comfy place to sit! Simply plug in Biscotti and start making free calls to anyone anywhere, worldwide. You can call other Biscotti and computers, tablets and smartphones supporting Google voice and video. 

A simple six-button remote controls Biscotti while you are watching TV, without having to switch inputs. You can set Biscotti to automatically answer calls from select contacts and even turn on the TV when you receive a call – a great way to ensure your most important contacts are always within reach.

“Video calling is growing at an enormous rate – nearly 50% per year. Still, only 1 in 5 people have ever made a video call citing technical complexity, expense or lack of spontaneity,” said Dr. Shoemake. “Biscotti solves this as the first single-purpose, dedicated TV phone. Simple to setup and as easy to use as a home phone.”

Biscotti works with Wi-Fi uplink speeds as low as 256 Kbps and delivers true high-definition at speeds of 1 Mbps or greater. It is compatible with HDMI-enabled TVs and popular cable and satellite boxes.
