KOffice documents are zipped, so first you would need an unzip tool.

Then when you have unzipped the document, the important file is maindoc.xml
In KWord, the text is between <TEXT> tags

Attached is a XSL template, if you have xlstproc installed:
xsltproc kwordrecovery.xslt maindoc.xml
and you get a HTML file out of it.

Without xsltproc, I supposr that using grep would be the easiest:
grep "\<TEXT\>" maindoc.xml
