Extract plain readable text from Word (.doc/.docx) documents using MinerU. MinerU outputs Markdown, which is the closest format to plain text it supports.

Quick Start

CODEBLOCK1

Authentication

No token needed for flash-extract on .docx. Token required for .doc and extract:

CODEBLOCK2

Create token at: https://mineru.net/apiManage/token

Capabilities

• - Supported input: .doc, .docx (local file or URL)
• INLINECODE4: supports flash-extract (no token, Markdown output to stdout)
• INLINECODE6: requires extract with token
• For truly plain text: use extract -f json and read the text fields from the JSON output
• Language hint with --language (default: ch, use en for English)

Notes

• - MinerU does not have a -f text option; Markdown is the closest to plain text
• INLINECODE13 requires extract with token; .docx works with INLINECODE16
• Output goes to stdout by default; use -o <dir> to save to a file or directory
• All progress/status messages go to stderr; document content goes to stdout
• MinerU is open-source by OpenDataLab (Shanghai AI Lab): https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU
