Hi,
I use docx2txt and thinks it works fine.
You find it at http://docx2txt.sf.net

Unoconv is free.
When I had to read a .dox file, I unzipped it and it created a directory
with xml files inside.
You can then use whatever you have got to just strip out the xml tags and
kind of get to the content, but this is not a good way.
Regards, Willem

Do you have to run an X desktop like gnome and buy unoconv? My
primary linux system is great in the command line world but I am
not sure it can handle the extra load. When playing quicktime
files with mplayer, it just barely can keep up. I'd hate to buy
commercial software and then find out it can't pull the wagon.
I do have an Apple Macintosh in my office and this is
probably a better route to go as the Mac runs a fairly good
desktop with speech and unoconv for the Mac does exist.
Until you answered this post, I didn't know about
unoconv so I certainly appreciate the information.
For anyone who is wondering, Linux and FreeBSD Unix are
my operating systems of choice when doing programming and
work-related things. The Mac is extremely good and the fact that
it is Unix-based gives it a nice comfortable feel. The speech is
excellent but if you ever listen to the output of a log file or
a C compiler, you will sorely miss the ability to just listen to
the streaming input at times. If not for that, one could buy the
cheapest Mac made and just use it as a speech synthesizer for
anything else. I think some of the least expensive MAC's cost
about the same as some of the better-quality stand-alone
synthesizers of a few years ago.
Again, thanks for the information.
Martin McCormick
