In my endeavor to be able to extract text from uploaded doc(x) files so that users can edit them in the application’s text editor, I was advised to do my own research into available APIs. When googling “doc file text extraction” there are not much obvious options in the way of APIs.
So is the proper terminology I am supposed to be using in my Google search in fact “doc(x) to html converter”? Is this the type of API that I need?
