doc_text #
A Flutter plugin for extracting the content of a Word document (.doc or .docx) as a plain text string. This plugin supports reading text from Word documents on both Android and iOS platforms, making it easier to integrate document handling into your Flutter applications.
Description #
The doc_text plugin provides a straightforward method to extract text from Word documents. This can be particularly useful for applications that need to read, display, or process the content of document files without requiring external applications.

Setup #
Android #
To use this plugin on Android, you need to ensure that your project's minSdkVersion is set to 26 or higher due to the dependencies used for reading Word documents.
Open your Android project's build.gradle file located in your_project/android/app/build.gradle and update the minSdkVersion to 26:
android {
...

defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 26
...
}
}

iOS #
