+A simple converter from OpenDocument Text to plain text odt2txt is
+a command-line tool which extracts the text out of OpenDocument Texts
+produced by OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, KOffice and others.
+
+odt2txt can also extract text from some file formats similar to OpenDocument
+Text, such as OpenOffice.org XML (*.sxw), which was used by OpenOffice.org
+version 1.x and older StarOffice versions. To a lesser extend, odt2txt
+may be useful to extract content from OpenDocument spreadsheets (*.ods)
+and OpenDocument presentations (*.odp).
