Description

Provides a command-line reader and converter for older Microsoft Word documents. It can extract readable text from Word files, which is useful for scripts, search indexing, recovery, or lightweight document inspection.

Use it when you need to read document content without opening a full office suite. It is not a full Word processor and does not preserve every modern formatting feature.
