Dennis Stosberg provides us with a simple tool or as he words it "A simple (and stupid) converter from OpenDocument Text to plain text".
odt2txt is …
* small
* supports multiple output encodings
* adopts to your locale
* able to substitute common characters which the output charset does not contain with ascii look-a-likes
* written in C, has few dependencies
* portable (runs on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows, Cygwin)
* licensed under GPL, version 2
- Website of the Project
- Ubuntu users find the package in the universe repository.
