Are there other ways to extract text besides getPageNthWord?

[logistics227043683]

The question is all there is to it:  Are there any other ways to extract text from a page besides getPageNthWord?

Likewise, are there ways to make getPageNthWord faster?

Only other way I can think of is to export the file to another format (like a text file) and then read in the contents of that file.

And no, you can't make it go faster.
