              DIALOGIC CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER UPDATE

     PARSIPPANY, N.J. -- July 8, 1996 -- Dialogic Corporation (NASDAQ-DLGC), the
world's  leading  manufacturer  of high  performance,  standards-based  computer
telephony  (CT)  components,  announced  today that sales for the second quarter
ended June 30, 1996 are  expected to be up  approximately  23% versus the second
quarter of 1995,  from $40.6  million in 1995 to  approximately  $50  million in
1996.  For the second  quarter of 1995,  the Company  reported  earnings of $4.0
million,  or $0.25  per  share on  approximately  16.1  million  average  shares
outstanding.  Based on  approximately  16.4 million average shares  outstanding,
Dialogic  expects to report per share  earnings of $0.24 to $0.28 for the second
quarter of 1996 when it announces results later this month.  Financial analysts'
estimates  have been  $0.33 to $0.34 per share for the  second  quarter of 1996.
These  results are lower than such  estimates  primarily  because  weaknesses in
international markets offset better-than-expected  domestic sales growth. 

     During the second  quarter,  the  Company  experienced  a  slowing  of its 
sales  growth  in  international  markets, principally in central Europe, where 
economic and regulatory  issues appear to be impeding the deployment of computer
telephony projects.  Disappointing  sales from Dialogic's Spectron  Microsystems
Division also contributed to the lower-than-expected results.

     Commenting  on  second quarter performance,  Howard Bubb, president and CEO
of  Dialogic  said,  "While  we  are  disappointed  in   the  weakness  in our  
international  markets,  we are pleased with the strength of our  performance on
the domestic  front,  particularly in the area of large switching and multimedia
systems that use Dialogic's latest high density and high performance voice, fax,
ISDN, voice  recognition and  text-to-speech  technologies.  After reviewing the
international situation, we have concluded that the disappointing  international
sales  represent  general market  softness  which should be reversible  once the
economic and regulatory  uncertainties are resolved.  Our information  indicates
that we are  continuing to build market share in all key markets and we have not
lost any significant design wins during the quarter."

     Mr. Bubb  added,  "Spectron  Microsystems  is taking longer  than we would 
like to reposition;  however,  we have confidence in  the  strong acceptance of 
their products and the new management team led by Chuck House, who joined us in 
December of 1995, and we expect that this operation will improve its performance
once the repositioning has been completed."  

     Pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, certain of the statements contained herein are forward looking.  Actual
results might differ materially from the Company's  forward-looking  statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ  materially from the Company's
forward-looking statements include extended economic and regulatory difficulties
in the Company's  international  markets, a reduction in the demand for Dialogic
customers'  products,  competition,  and  slowing of the  overall  growth of the
Computer Telephony market.

     Dialogic  Corporation  is the  leading  manufacturer  of high  performance,
standards-based  computer telephony (CT) components.  Computer telephony systems
built  with  Dialogic  products  manage  more than one  third of all  telephone,
facsimile,  and multi-media  calls answered by computers over wireless and wired
networks  worldwide.  Dialogic  products  are used in voice,  fax,  data,  voice
recognition,  speech  synthesis,  ISDN  networks and call center  management  CT
applications.  The company is  headquartered  in  Parsippany,  New Jersey,  with
regional  headquarters  in Tokyo,  Japan,  and  Brussels,  Belgium,  with  sales
engineering offices worldwide. For more information, visit the Dialogic Web site
