I have found the solution. The program "abiword" comes with a CLI option that is typed
It can do both .doc and .docx file to .txt, and even vise versa. It's actually really convenient.

AbiWord was started in 1998 by AbiSource Inc., a company founded by SourceGear corporation. The initial plan was to build a free office
suite named AbiSuite, encompassing word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications. As they didn't have a usable product when
their venture capital was up, the code already developed (namely AbiWord) was made open source. AbiWord development was subsequently taken
over by volunteers and is driven by the community to date.
