Corrupt DOCX Salvager offers a user-friendly interface, and uses Perl coding to extract text from corrupted Word 2007-2013 docx files. The software is able to successfully recover data where Word 2007-2013 has failed. In addition, a zip repair pretreatment feature has been added.
One of the best parts about Corrupt DOCX Salvager is that it can also serve as a viewer for the text in a docx file without having Word 2007-2013. You can even edit the extracted text in the results interface window, similar to using Notepad.
Recently, Corrupt DOCX Salvager improved its performance by adding a pre-extraction zip repair step and an 'Alternatives' menu. The Alternatives Menu provides great value to users by including a shortcut to Recoveronix' Online File Repair and a coupon code 'S2SERVICES' that's good until 11 / 01 / 14 for free recovery, a $39 a pop value.
Word 2007-2013 files are conventionally zipped collections of mostly XML files, which are not tolerant of file corruption. The extracted text can be found in the document.xml file within the zipped collection. While Word 2007-2013 uses an inadequate corruption tolerant unzipper and an XML reading algorithm, Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses a more corruption tolerant unzipper and a corruption tolerant XML reading algorithm, making the software a reliable solution.
However, installing this software requires the Microsoft .NET version 2 framework. It was previously known as Damaged DOCX2TXT. Overall, Corrupt DOCX Salvager is a great option for text extraction and viewing damaged or corrupted Word 2007-2013 docx files.
