Is it possible to send a doc / docx through a form and read its contents in javascript?
I only care about the text that is written inside it, without images, formulas, etc.

There is a class in PHP called doc2txt.
Just give ctrl c + ctrl v, follow the credits in the code.
When I browsed in in Javascript I found for .docx or .doc separated.
