Dear Ashish,
Thank you for showing interest and putting your effort to write this mail.I don't think so it support Oriya language for any speech communication.As per my knowledge Oriya don't support on Microsoft speech recognition tool.You can develop a agent which can be plug in to this Microsoft speech tool.

I do have soft corner towards this language but do not have time(engaged with lots of activity ;) ). If you can form a team I may help you to get in more deep from Microsoft and community aspect.Now a days microsoft help community to develop software on localization.
